The Little Duke by Charlotte
M. Yonge |
| This is
a charming and very Catholic story of young Richard of 10th century
Normandy. His father, the Duke of Normandy and a devout Christian, is
cruelly murdered by a rival nobleman forcing Richard, at the tender age of
eight, to become the new Duke in a time of political upheaval. As the story
unfolds, Richard slowly matures in the face of the dangers and uncertainties
of his position. He becomes a good judge of character as he learns to
recognize flatterers from true friends. Catholic virtues are especially
evident in the good people of Normandy who pray and do penance for the sake
of their Little Duke. |

Grisley Grissell by Charlotte
M. Yonge |
It is a
tale of adventure and good romance. Patience, perseverance and kindness are
strong and noble virtues of Grisell, which endear her to others, including
the reader.
What sets this book apart from others are the Catholic overtones. For
example, Grisell has a positive experience growing up in a convent. In fact,
she was hoping to be a nun, when her lack of a dowry and an unsympathetic
Abbess presents difficulties. |

Lances of Lynwood |
| "Virtue
Conquers" is the theme of this wholesome adventure story set in
the Middle Ages during the reign of Edward III of England. Eustace, the
scholarly but valiant brother-in-law of Sir Reginald Lynwood, goes as his
squire to Spain under the banner of the English sovereign. In his first
battle, he loses his brother-in-law but gains a knight’s spurs for his
courage. His future looks very bright, but soon his prospects sour through
no fault of his own. Suspicion, rumors of wizardry, and attempts on his
life now replace the earlier praise and honor, and how he confronts
injustice makes an interesting read full
of chivalry and adventure. |
