Bring history back to life through Jim Hodges' historically accurate, exciting, and edifying audio recordings.

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, son of an Englishman and a Frenchwoman, who journeys to France to take part in the Huguenots' struggle for freedom. He and his band of soldiers see much combat, and Phillip's skill as a swordsman and marksman is required innumerable times before he returns as a hero to England.

The Henty Historical Novel Collection, written by George Henty in the 1800s, covers many time periods in history throughout the world. In this collection you will learn history, geography, and vocabulary while also discovering hero characters for your children to emulate.

The mixture of the Huguenots persecution and the fictional portion of an English young man who claimed sympathy for the cause made this a fascinating account.Tthe way history has been entwined was so entertaining and for me I learned a tremendous amount about the Catholics versus the Protestants in France.

Very well done historical fiction!

While the narrator is not quite as good as another who recorded 6 audio CD books, Jim Hodges is a good enough narrator for this fascinating book! Out of the 8-10 G. A. Henty audio books I have listened to, this is among the VERY best. Truly worth every penny! Once I started listening to it I could not stop until the end. Well done, indeed!

One of the best G. A. Henty audiobooks!!

Can’t continue listening to this! The subject of this tragedy could at least have something to look forward to? Boring.

No - Not Great!
