Description
Cuthbert, a young boy, aspiring knight, and prodigal page, begins his journey to win his spurs during the crusades and on the way grows to be a man and ultimately saves his country. Winning His Spurs: A Tale of the Crusades, first published in 1882 and written by G. A. Henty, is a historical adventure novel set during the Third Crusade. It follows the travels of Cuthbert, from his home in the great forests near Evesham, England, to the Holy City of Jerusalem, and back again. Along the way he has many fantastical adventures, such as rescuing damsels in distress, meeting Robin Hood, fighting pirates, communing with a Dead Sea hermit, scaling the Alps fraught with avalanches and savage wolves, and becoming enslaved in Jerusalem, to name a few.
