Summary "The Boy Crusaders: A Story of the Days of Louis IX." by John G. Edgar is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. The story centers around two young squires, Guy Muschamp and Walter Espec, who undertake a journey to participate in the Crusade led by King Louis IX of France to reclaim the Holy Land from the Saracens. Through their adventures, the novel explores themes of chivalry, bravery, and the historical context of the Crusades, while providing a glimpse into the lives of young men aspiring to knightly honor. The opening of the novel sets the stage in a feudal castle in England during the reign of Henry III and serves to introduce the main characters, Guy and Walter. Both of these young squires are eager to embark on their adventure as they prepare to sail to the East, driven by dreams of glory and noble quests. Guy expresses a sense of wonder and excitement at the thought of the adventures they will face, while Walter harbors a more serious motivation, being driven by a quest to find his lost brother. The rich descriptions of their training in chivalry, alongside their camaraderie and contrasting personalities, effectively engage the reader and hint at the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead on their noble pursuits.
