| 520 | _a"The Dragon and the Raven; Or, The Days of King Alfred" by G. A. Henty is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. The narrative is set during the turbulent times of King Alfred's reign in 9th century England, focusing on the conflict between the Saxons and the invading Danes. The story revolves around young Edmund, the son of a valiant ealdorman, as he navigates the challenges brought by the Viking invasions and the complexities of leadership and loyalty amidst the struggle for survival. At the start of the story, we are introduced to Edmund and his father, Eldred, who are hiding from the Danes in the fens of East Anglia. As they await news and safety, the opening chapter paints a vivid picture of their rugged environment and their precarious situation. The tension escalates with the father’s return from a perilous journey and his grim report of the Danish forces, setting the stage for their impending departure to safety. The narrative hints at forthcoming battles, as Eldred discusses the necessity of unity among the Saxon kingdoms to resist the invaders, while he prepares Edmund for the harsh realities of war. The opening establishes both a personal and historical context, building an atmosphere charged with anticipation for the conflicts that are to come. (This is an automatically generated summary.) | ||
