1.		The Young Carthaginian A Story of The Times of Hannibal from Hard Press Price: $15.95 Customer Review: Henty, that scarily prolific writer of historical "boy's books," is splendidly fun reading and may be quite different from your expectations. Though this novel begins rather poorly, with various tortured exposition-heavy conversations and stilted dialogue, it improves rapidly and actually gets quite... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

5.		The Lion of the North: A Tale of the Times of Gustavus Adolphus from BiblioBazaar Price: $13.99 Customer Review: With the Thirty Years' War (1618-48) raging in Europe, sixteen-year-old Malcolm Graheme, and other Scots sign up to fight in the army of the great Swedish King, Gustavus Adolphus (1594-1632). The Scots form the very backbone of Gustavus's army, and Malcolm Graheme is right in the thick of things,... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

6.		With Lee in Virginia (Works of G. A. Henty) from Preston-Speed Publications Customer Review: This may have been written at the time for young readers (I am 43!), but for anyone interested in the Civil War it is a treasure trove of background to the war, and the men of the South (primarily) that fought it. The descriptions of the battles (complete with maps) fought in Virginia are gripping... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

7.		Wulf the Saxon A Story of the Norman Conquest from Hard Press Price: $15.95 Customer Review: While Henty is a good read it is definitely a kids book. Do not expect much depth to the story. The story is quick, exciting, and predictable. Fun and accurate but not too involved. A good book if you know what to expect.

8.		By Right of Conquest: Or With Cortez in Mexico from BiblioBazaar Price: $15.99 Customer Review: This book has become an instant favorite with me. I really love how Mr. Henty shows the true reasons behind Cortez's conquest, and not the pack of lies that we usually hear in history. The thing that got my attention was the Henty made it clear that both sides had their good and bad intentions. The... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

9.		A Knight of the White Cross : a tale of the siege of Rhodes from Hard Press Price: $15.95 Customer Review: Henty is amazing at capturing your interest and at the same time giving you a history lesson. Knight of the White Cross is so far my favorite of his books. There are pirates, battles, adventures, and young maidens to protect. I highly recommend this book, especially to junior high or high school... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

10.		For the Temple: A Tale of the Fall of Jerusalem from BiblioBazaar Price: $14.99 Customer Review: This book does a wonderful job of explaining many different factors contributing to the fall of Jerusalem. Eventually, the characters do come alive. It gets redundant at times, which is not helped by the over-use of dramatic emphasis throughout the reading--the listener has to group and weigh... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom
