Description

The Black Arrow: A Tale of the Two Roses by Robert Louis Stevenson is a thrilling historical adventure set during the Wars of the Roses in 15th-century England. The story follows young Richard (Dick) Shelton, a loyal squire seeking justice for his father’s murder and the truth behind a web of treachery. After discovering his guardian is a ruthless outlaw, Dick joins the secret archer brotherhood known as the Black Arrow, who fight for justice in the lawless Weald. With courage and honor, he battles villains, rescues the noble Joanna Sedley, and rises to leadership. Blending swashbuckling action, medieval intrigue, and themes of loyalty and chivalry, The Black Arrow is a gripping tale of coming-of-age amidst civil war and moral conflict.

Author

Robert Louis Stevenson (1850–1894) gave adventure its modern bounce and the double life its household name. He was an Edinburgh lawyer's son who would not stay still: tuberculosis, canoes, Pacific islands, and sentences that never limp. Treasure Island taught boys (and everyone else) how a story should turn; Jekyll and Hyde taught adults how a conscience can. The essays are as alive as the yarns.
