Product Description
No one but myself knows what I have suffered, nor what my books have gained, by your unsleeping watchfulness and admirable pertinacity. And now here is a volume that goes into the world and lacks your imprimatur: a weird thing in our joint lives; and the reason of it weirder still! I have watched with interest, with pain, and at part with amusement, your unavailing attempts to peruse The Black Arrow; and I reflect I should lack humour indeed, if I let the occasion slip and did not place your name in the glide-leaf of the only book of mine that you have never read–and never will read. That others may spectacle more constancy is still my hope. The tale was written years ago for a particular audience and (I may say) in rivalry with a particular leader; I reflect I should do well to name him, Mr. Alfred R. Phillips. It was not lacking its reward at the time. I could not, indeed, displace Mr. Phillips from his well-won priority; but in the eyes of readers who thought less than nothing of Treasure Island, The Black Arrow was supposed to mark a clear advance. Persons who read volumes and persons who read tale papers belong to different worlds. The verdict on Treasure Island was reversed in the additional court; I marvel, will it be the same with its successor?

The book, The Black Arrow, by Robert Louis Stevenson, did not grab my attention. Although it had some exciting events in the tale, for the most part I was unable to appreciate them because i didn’t know what was happening or what anything was about. The book had some confusing twists and turns which were hard to follow. So, I would not recommend this book to most people , because, to me, it was hard to follow and because of that, dull. this book is about a young man named Richard Shelton. He was born loyal to the House of Lancaster but establish himself torn between his loyalty to his master and joining a band of outlaws called the Black Arrow, led by a dashing young man named Ellis Duckworth. Shelton goes through many adventures with many partners and friends. The problem is he doesn’t know who he can trust. He has been betrayed and swindled, but he doesn’t stop putting his faith in people who he thinks he can trust. One person he knows he can trust is Joanna Sedley. She was a lost like in his life which he later encountered. Throughout the book he is chasing, tracking and looking for her. There is certain types of people that would delight in this book. If they can keep their attention and comprehend very well I reflect they might like this book very much. Because if you can follow the plot I’m sure it will be very exciting. So, if you fall into that category I would recommend this book to you. But if you are like me and you need a book that is full of adventure from the get go, and have some distress following books, I would not recommend the Black Arrow.

The book black arrow reminded me of the tales about Robin Hood. I reflect that Robert Louis Stevenson just took the tale of Robin Hood and added more things to it. Robert Louis Stevenson had a excellent thought about it. the tale had more depht to it than Robin Hood. the way he clarify the one chariter makes him look like Robin Hood, because of the way he is dressed. I thought that the book was prety excellent. The book could have been better.

I’m usually rather picky with what I read, so I was nearly struck when I establish myself getting into this book. I heartily enjoyes it, not only that but it’s a fantastic tale of gallantry and chivalry. It’s very underrated and undertaken. I say read it, but, younger readers may find themselves a small confused with dialogue, and regularly time Stevenson managed to place out vital details.

This is a excellent book but not the best of Stevenson’s adventure novels. Proposed to be a bildungsroman a la Kidnapped, it is set in Medieval England during the Wars of the Roses. The character development is not as excellent as several of Stevenson’s additional novels and the plot seems more schematic. In terms of making a historically plain setting. Stevenson did better with 18th century Scotland than with this period of English history.
