- Synopsis
- OUR STORY OPENS with the birth of the child that, in less than a year, is to be King of England--Henry VI. His father, Henry of Agincourt, fighting for the crown of France, won great victories. He married Catherine, daughter of the French King; and, by treaty as well as by conquest, was declared heir to the throne of France. He dies young and his son is proclaimed King of England and of France. But, 'French hearts don't turn English at the stroke of a pen', and the war goes on--until France is lost. Our story deals with two boys, each called Harry. One is Henry VI, Harry of Lancaster, who gives his name to the book. The other is Harry Rushden, a goldsmith's apprentice who is brought into friendship with the King. All that happens in the story is seen through his eyes.
