Placed in England during the 16^th century,  this novel concerns itself with the folly of battle. The main character is a soldier, whose skill with the sword, along with his loyalty to his own Duke, allows him to rise from humble station and become a Duke himself.  This soldier is a man we can hope to imitate because he “was not a great man, but he was a better man than most.”

A children’s tale about a white horse, a young soldier, a king, a princess, and a happy ending.
