About The Lion of the North
A classic story brought to life through Jim Weiss's thrilling, thoughtfully and gently abridged narration. With his trademark mixture of thrilling adventure and balanced, accurate history, G. A. Henty sets us down amid the firestorms of the religious wars in Europe of the 1600s. During the Thirty Year War (1618-1648), our fictitious Scottish hero and his real Scottish commanders join the triumphant Protestant champion, Gustavus Adolphus of Sweden, "the lion of the north." On the Catholic side, we meet the king's equally skilled foes, brutal General Tilly and vain, brilliant Prince Wallenstein. Filled with shifting battles, deadly plots, daring escapes, and loyalties put to the test, this is one of G.A. Henty's most popular books, and guaranteed to keep the entire family on the edge of their seats.
