The Young Castellan: A Tale of the English Civil War

The Young Castellan by George Manville Fenn tells the story of the English Civil War in a way both young adults and older readers can enjoy. This riveting tale is about a man and his son and their experience of the war. Excerpt: «See these spots o' red rust, Master Roy?» «I would be blind as poor old Jenkin if I couldn't, Ben.» «Ay, that you would, sir. Poor old Jenk, close upon ninety he be; and that's another thing.» «What do you mean?» said the boy. «What do I mean, sir? Why, I mean as that's another thing as shows as old England's wore out, and rustin' and moulderin' away.»
