Publisher's Summary

Of The Lion of St. Mark, G.A. Henty wrote: "I have laid my story in the time not of the triumphs of Venice but of her hardest struggle for existence, when she defended herself successfully against the coalition of Hungary, Padua, and Genoa, for never at any time were the virtues of Venice, her steadfastness, her patriotism, and her willingness to make all sacrifice for her independence more brilliantly shown. The historical portion of the story is drawn from Hazlitt's History of the Republic of Venice, and with it I have woven the adventures of an English boy endowed with a full share of that energy and pluck which, more than any other qualities, have made the British Empire the greatest the world ever saw."

Loved it!

It seems I have a new favourite author! G. A. Henty has a talent for writing exceptional historical fiction. I’ve had this book in my library for some time and finally listened. I actually had two copies and chose the one narrated by Ralph Cosham as the most enjoyable for my ear. There was never a moment when I wasn’t fully engaged with the story, enjoying even the battles (which I rarely do). The characters were rich and memorable. I loved the sensory scenes of ancient Venice he painted with his words… I could see the waters and the gondolas, I could hear the water, I can’t wait to read more of his works.
