(Herbert James) Saint Bartholomew's Eve: A Tale of the Huguenot Wars Reading ease score: 75.5 (7th grade). Fairly easy to read. Produced by Martin Robb "Saint Bartholomew's Eve: A Tale of the Huguenot Wars" by G. A. Henty is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. The story chronicles the struggles of the Huguenots, French Protestants caught in the tumult of the religious wars in France during the 16th century. The main character, Philip Fletcher, is a youth of mixed English and French Huguenot heritage, who stands on the brink of becoming involved in this violent struggle for the right to worship freely. The opening of the story sets the stage for Philip's journey, beginning with a brief preface that outlines the historical context of the Huguenot Wars, providing insight into the persecution faced by the Protestants. Following this, we are introduced to Philip's family life in Canterbury, where he has grown up under the care of his English father and French Huguenot relatives. This section reveals Philip's strong character shaped by the values of both cultures, and touches on the deteriorating situation in France where his relatives still suffer under oppression. Discussions about his future and the potential for him to join the fight against their oppressors build the excitement for the journeys and challenges that lie ahead.
