"St. George for England" by G. A. Henty is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. Set in 14th century England, the story revolves around themes of chivalry and valor, centered on the life of Walter Fletcher, a young apprentice who demonstrates bravery and courage as he navigates a turbulent era filled with political intrigue and conflict. The opening of the novel introduces a stark and harsh November night in 1330, where a weary woman named Lady Alice Somers arrives in the village of Southwark, seeking refuge with her young child after fleeing from danger. While within the humble abode of Geoffrey Ward, the smith, the foundations for future conflict are laid as Lady Alice reveals her noble lineage and the treachery she faces. Her tale is steeped in the political chaos of the time, marked by the execution of her husband amid a royal power struggle. Walter is introduced as a diligent apprentice under Geoffrey, and through a subsequent series of adventurous encounters, the storytelling foreshadows his transformation from a mere citizen to a knightly figure. The tone sets the stage for the novel's exploration of honor and heroism, as well as the bonds between social classes during a time of strife. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
