In the Days of Chivalry: A Tale of the Times of the Black Prince
Produced by Martin Robb
"In the Days of Chivalry: A Tale of the Times of the Black Prince" by Evelyn Everett-Green is an historical novel that likely reflects the late 19th century sensibilities regarding medieval themes. The narrative begins by introducing twin brothers, Gaston and Raymond, who are the heirs of the De Brocas lineage but live in obscurity as peasant millers. The story captures their yearning for adventure and nobility, intertwined with their desire to reclaim their ancestral lands from their family's nemesis, the Sieur de Navailles. The opening of the novel immerses readers in a picturesque setting of autumn in Gascony, where the twins are depicted walking through a magical forest, engaged in passionate discussions about their noble heritage and lost rights. As they reflect on their past, memories of their mother’s words ignite ambitions within them to reclaim their rightful inheritance of Basildene in England rather than the more imposing fortress of Saut, currently held by their enemies. However, their plans begin taking shape after an encounter with a scornful nobleman, which propels them to seek their destiny beyond the familiar confines of the mill. The development of their journey, ambitions, and identities promises an engaging exploration of chivalry and familial duty as they venture into an uncertain future.

Reading ease score: 71.7 (7th grade). Fairly easy to read.
