Master of adventure G. A. Henty enraptures and enchants with this chronicle of Thane Edmund’s daring defense of king and country against the Danish conquest. Set in the ninth-century English kingdom of Wessex, The Dragon and the Raven follows Edmund, a soldier, strategist, and trusted consort to King Alfred, as he chases the savage usurpers from his homeland and across the European continent. Performer John Bolen’s granular but fluid baritone perfectly captures the battle-cry bellows of Henty’s rugged warrior. Edmund enlists a unit of brave soldiers with whom he sets forth into the heart of Danish territory aboard his sturdy ship, the Dragon. Employing death-defying hit-and-run tactics, Edmund courts fame, fortune, and romance.
