Resumen del Editor
Bring history back to life through Jim Hodges' historically accurate, exciting, and edifying audio recordings.
The storming of the Bastille on July 14, 1789, ushered in the French Revolution. Within four years, the king was executed and a revolutionary tribunal was established to judge "enemies of the people." Led by Robespierre, the Jacobins sought to establish a "Republic of Virtue", and to achieve it, the property of nobles was seized and "enemies" tried and sent to the guillotine. Known as the Reign of Terror, everyone who was associated with the monarchy, expressed royalist views, or opposed the committee, faced potential execution.
Harry Sandwith, a companion of a French family, wins their confidence and becomes the protector of the three daughters. After the girls are condemned to death in the coffin-ships, Harry saves the girls and the gets them safely to England.

On August 24, 1572, more than 2,000 French Huguenots - men, women, and children - were massacred for their faith. In St. Bartholomew's Eve, Henty vividly depicts Admiral Coligny's unflinching bravery, Queen Elizabeth's vacillating foreign policy, Catherine de Medici's vindictive scheming, and the queen of Navarre's inner strength as he recounts the adventures of Phillip Fletcher.

Historia
In 1380, Venice is a world power. She is mistress of the sea, had checked the rising power of the Turks, conquered Constantinople, and successfully defied all the attacks of her jealous rivals. But now her strength and splendor are put to the severest test by the combined powers of Hungary, Padua, and Genoa. In an atmosphere of intrigue, crime and treachery, Francis Hammond displays a fine sense and manliness that carry him safely through the storm in the watery splendor of Venice.

Historia
The French Revolution casts a long shadow, one that reaches into our own time and influences our debates on freedom, equality, and authority. Yet it remains an elusive, perplexing historical event. Its significance morphs according to the sympathies of the viewer, who may see it as a series of gory tableaux, a regrettable slide into uncontrolled anarchy - or a radical reshaping of the political landscape. In this riveting new book, Ian Davidson provides a fresh look at this vital moment in European history. He reveals how it was an immensely complicated and multifaceted revolution....

Historia
From 1413-1415 the butcher’s guild, otherwise known as the “White Hoods” of Paris, kept that city in a state of near anarchy. With a mad king, a virtual civil war between the houses of Orleans and Burgundy, and King Henry V of England claiming the French throne, there is plenty of opportunity for Guy Aylmer, a squire to Sir Eustace de Villeroy, to show his mettle in many a skirmish, finally winning his spurs at the lopsided victory of the English over the French at the Battle of Agincourt on October 25, 1415.

Loved this!
I read the Henty books when I was little (about 10 or 11) and loved the swashbuckling, thrilling adventures G.A. Henty wrote about. I was thrilled when I saw that some if my favorites were available for free! Jim Hodges certainly does justice to Henty's writing, and hopefully others will enjoy the stories as much as I did, do now, and will for years to come🤩.

Very good !! The entire story was very good and full of suspense !
Very good and full of suspense !! There were parts that I found difficult to follow and these were the parts dealing with boats and everything related to them. On the whole I think it was excellent.

Three stars may seem generous.
It seemed to.me that the book was written for a twelve year old. The narration was rather mediocre.

Narrator is…
The story is fine. We are listening as a part to of our French Revolution homeschool unit. Why an American who really can’t do accents is narrating a book about a British boy in France is beyond me. The narration is really distracting to me. Should have read this one on my own.

Great historical lesson but entertaining?
The story was interesting and informing but left so much to be desired in terms of the conveyance - undoubtedly it would be unfit to embellish the story, but many times the events that should have come with a greater sense of suspense or climax, ended up as flat statements.
Despite these shortcomings, I would seek out more of these stories but I would seek greater a similar narrative with more drama and emphasis in the delivery.
