The Black Arrow tells the story of Richard (Dick) Shelton during the Wars of the Roses: how he becomes a knight, rescues his lady Joanna Sedley, and obtains justice for the murder of his father, Sir Harry Shelton. Outlaws in
Tunstall Forest organized by Ellis Duckworth, whose weapon and calling card is a black arrow, cause Dick to suspect
that his guardian Sir Daniel Brackley and his retainers are responsible for his father's murder. Dick's suspicions
are enough to turn Sir Daniel against him, so he has no recourse but to escape from Sir Daniel and join the outlaws
of the Black Arrow against him. This struggle sweeps him up into the greater conflict surrounding them all.
The story of the Wars of the Roses is told in miniature by The Black Arrow. (Summary from Wikipedia) (8 hr 13 min)

this book is exceedingly well written and captivating. The readers do a good job for the most part...although I wish Jeremy would have read the whole book.

The Black Arrow is really an incredible story of great doings brilliantly wreathed in historical context. It’s the classic tale of knighthood told in an honest and unabashed manner. The readers are well read and fully capable of transferring the greatness of the story.
All stars for Jeremy.

Had to quit listening because of Esther's strange reading. Good story though. Listen instead to the version read by Mark Smith, who does a very good job.
fun story

An unexpected find, I did not know about this book, written by a favorite author of mine. What an enjoyable tale! Two readers, both did a very good job.

I know these are volunteers, but I would like for all of the chapters to be read by the same volunteer. Preferably dramatically, with emotion.
Great book

A lesser known book of RLS, but an enjoyable one. Esther provided an excellent reading.
