In The Reign of Terror: Story of the French Revelution

Adventure stories don't get any better than this! Plus, the reader is drinking in history without even trying! Even though G. A. Henty authored these books in the late 19th century, and the stories are set hundreds of years before that, the tales he tells are timeless. Bravery, chivalry, heroism, leadership, faithfulness, determination and wisdom abound in these reprints. In some of the stories, the advance or defense of Christianity is also an important part of the story. These books were originally written for boys, but anyone young or old who enjoys a good adventure story will want to read these. Available in hardbound, softcover and "featherweight" (mass market) editions.

Please note that we offer Henty books from two different publishers. We are listing them chronologically regardless of publisher. The hardcovers and softcovers differ in price between the publishers, so they are marked as being either Oregon Institute (O) or Library & Educational Services (L).

We also offer audios from two different companies. Please see descriptions for these products directly after all of the Henty novels.

Harry Sandwith, a Westminster boy, becomes a resident at the chateau of a French marquis in 1793, and after various adventures accompanies the family to Paris at the crisis of the French Revolution. Imprisonment and death reduce their number, and the hero finds himself beset by perils with the three young daughters of the house in his charge. After narrow escapes they reach Nanates. At Nanates, the girls are condemned to death, but are saved by the unfailing courage of their boy-protector.
