This edition is specifically tailored for a younger audience, aiming to present the tales of adventure, battle, and chivalry in a way that is engaging and accessible to boys. The text likely includes a range of exciting narratives centered around prominent figures and events from the historical conflicts in England, France, and Spain. The opening of "The Boy's Froissart" provides an introduction that sets the stage for the adventures recounted in the subsequent chapters. It introduces Sir John Froissart, who took it upon himself to chronicle the wars and significant events of his time, showcasing his journey as a young historian traveling through France and England, collecting stories from knights and other figures. The introduction emphasizes the timeless appeal of Froissart's work and its ability to inspire both young boys and older readers with themes of valor, idealism, and the spirit of knighthood, while outlining the differences between the chivalric ideals of the past and the complexities of contemporary life.
