Each chapter should be broken down on a time line rather than lapsed all into one. Here is a rough outline for every chapter from beginning to end. As an educator, this is helpful to have each chapter broken into parts. I hope this will be of help for those other facilitators also, using and incorporating into differentiated learning. Chapter I- 36:54 END Chapter II- 39:02 Begins Chapter III- 1:11:38 Begins Chapter IV- 1:47:29 Begins

One of my favourites of Henty's books. I read all of them in my school and public library in the 60's and 70's for the First time. This Dragon and Raven, and lion of St Mark are possibly my favourites. With Lee in Virgina probably most difficult to read without really hanging on to "It was a different time!" With the Irish Brigade, and Lion of the North pretty good too.
@ethanchouinard41573 жыл бұрын

Saxon law everyone had a value Norman law there barons owned the people who has little or no rights at all after the invasion. Such a shame, I love the saxon era .

I'm enjoying this book. Just a side note though. I was brought up in Steyning (Wulf's holding in West Sussex,) and we call it STENing. STAYning is a common mispronunciation. Although, to be fair, if the author researched the subject well, it might be that Stayning is an old pronunciation. It's an interesting little town. It had a mint in the time of Edward the confessor and coins from his reign have been found there. It was also an important port at that time but the river silted up in later Medieval times therefore it lost that prominence.
