In this swashbuckling novel, by the author of Treasure Island, young Dick Shelton is left orphaned. So he seeks the help of the mysterious Black Arrow fellowship. Brimming with adventure and suspense, this is a portrait of England during the War of the Roses, when many, like Dick, were torn between their loyalties.

From School Library Journal
Grade 7 Up--Students of the classics will appreciate Ron Keith''s excellent rendition of Robert Louis Stevenson''s adventure novel, set against the background of the War of the Roses. The time is 15th century England, and Richard Shelton, the young hero, overcomes one obstacle after another in his quest to rescue Joanna, his love. British actor Keith''s talented voice gives life to Shelton, his friends, and his enemies, delivering the old fashioned English with ease and precise diction. The unusual vocabulary can usually be understood in context. Keith''s slightly nasal, raspy, resonant voice changes frequently to differentiate between the characters, varying from bass to treble. He changes tones to express a full range of emotions. Songs are not a problem for Keith, as he knows the melody for each. Consider this audiobook for purchase where Stevenson is part of the curriculum.
