Westward Ho!
|
|
(1855) Novel by Charles *Kingsley, inspired by his sense of patriotic fervour over the *Crimean War. Intended for adults, it proved immensely popular with children. The exploits of heroic English seamen are set against the threat of the *Armada, with scheming *Jesuits in the background and the blood-curdling horrors of the *Inquisition.
