By SARDIUS HANCOCK, Author of 'The Cruise of the
Golden Fleece,' &c. With three coloured illustrations by J. FINNEMORE,
R.I. Large crown 8vo, cloth gilt, 2s. 6d.
'Gallant Sir John' is a stirring, exciting tale of the days when
Henry V. was gaining successive victories in France. At the same
time Wyckliffe's Bible was being circulated by the Lollards, who
were being hounded to exile, outlawry and death by the priests of
Rome. Once begun this story will hold the reader to the end, for he
will be taken into the very heart of those troublous times, and
will witness many a thrilling scene.
