The Black Arrow: A Tale of the Two Roses

by Robert Louis Stevenson

About this book

The Black Arrow: A Tale of the Two Roses by Robert Louis Stevenson explores historical fiction, knights and knighthood — fiction, war stories.

From the opening pages: “No one but myself knows what I have suffered, nor what my books have gained, by your unsleeping watchfulness and admirable pertinacity. And now here is a volume that goes into the world and lacks your _imprimatur_: a strange thing in our joint lives; and the reason of it stranger still! I have watched with interest, with pain, and at length with amusement, your unavailing attempts to peruse _The Black Arrow_; and I think I should lack humour indeed, if I let the occasion slip and did not place your name in the fly-leaf of the only book of mine that you have never read--and never will…”
