A. Henty is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. The story focuses on the events and characters surrounding the famous battles of Cressy and Poitiers during the Hundred Years' War, particularly following a young boy named Walter Fletcher, who navigates the dangerous and politically tumultuous landscape of medieval England. With themes of adventure, courage, and chivalry, the novel promises readers a gripping tale set against a significant historical backdrop." "At the start of the tale, we see a mysterious woman named Lady Alice, who seeks refuge in a village and faces numerous hardships, having just escaped from a precarious situation. She encounters Geoffrey Ward, a kind blacksmith, who offers her shelter. After a night of recovery, she and her child, Walter, are introduced to the ensuing narrative that involves themes of survival and loyalty, as Walter grows up under the guardianship of his benefactors, learning the craft of arms and armor while being drawn to a life of chivalry and adventure. The beginnings set the stage for an epic journey that intertwines personal growth with the larger currents of conflict and valor during a pivotal moment in history."
