The Tavern Knight
By Rafael Sabatini
- Release Date: 1920-01-01
- Genre: Historical Fiction
- Free
Description
He whom they called the Tavern Knight laughed an evil laugh--such a laugh as the pious might conceive on the lips of Satan. Thus begins Sabatini's masterful romance of the life of a Tavern King-a story of swashbuckling adventure and murderous action. Unusually for Sabatini, he has turned to English history to provide the backdrop for this thrilling tale.
