The Black Arrow

The adventure novel by Robert Louis Stevenson "The Black Arrow" immerses the reader in the realities of the 15th century — a time of confrontation between the Yorks and the Lancasters. While the noble knight Sir Daniel seeks new opportunities to profit from the war, his ward Richard Shelton is forced to take care of the escaped prisoner John Matcham. Young Shelton will have to face a series of trials, fight for his love, and meet the robbers from the "Black Arrow" band. The collection also includes the mystical story "Accursed Janet," based on Scottish folk beliefs.
