Telling Tales: Historical Tales And Adventure Stories: Fiction Book - Paperback

by Hank Englehardt (Author)

An adventure is an exciting experience that is typically bold, sometimes risky, or undertaking. Adventures may be activities with some potential for physical danger such as traveling, exploring, skydiving, mountain climbing, scuba diving, river rafting, or participating in extreme sports.
Burroughs' second novel, originally published as a five-part serial in New Story Magazine, concerns the fictitious outlaw Norman of Torn. Set in 13th century England, during the power struggle between King Henry III and Simon de Montfort, the protagonist Norman is the supposed son of the Frenchman de Vac, once the king's fencing master, who has a grudge against his former employer and raises the boy to be a simple, brutal killing machine with a hatred of all things English.
