Other editions of book In The Wars Of The Roses: A Story for the Young

"The chance resemblance of Prince Edward of Wales, son of Margaret of Anjou and Henry VI,, to the son of a Staffordshire knight, leads to a case of mistaken identity, and causes Paul Stukely to substitute himself for the heir-apparent to the English throne. On this incident of England's history is founded a story which deals with events that succeed the restoration of Henry VI., and introduces the struggle of the House of York and Lancaster with the succession of Edward IV." -Publishers Weekly "An interesting story of hairbreadth escapes and effusive loyalty in the midst of the rapine and treason which stalked through the land about 1470. The book ends with the foul murder of the young Lancastrian prince after the battle of Tewkesbury....Mrs. Green's careful study of the turbulent period in which she places her characters is much to be commended." -The Academy "Miss Everett-Green's little books are, we think, of a valuable kind...utilizing some of the dramatic incidents in English history as the thread whereon to hang an avowedly fictitious story...and may direct the young reader's attention in a pleasant way to those fields of more serious reading which, rightly entered upon, are of all others the most interesting to intelligent children. 'In the Wars of the Roses,' which culminates in the tragedy of Tewkesbury, tells of a certain Paul Stukely, who becomes the follower and companion of the ill-starred Prince Edward of Lancaster. There are plenty of adventures with robbers in Epping Forest and other places...There is a good deal of verisimilitude in the descriptions of the young chiefs of Dynesvor and their surroundings, and boys will have their preferences between the two pairs of brothers, the fiercer Llewelyn and Howel, and the more cultured and modern Wendot and Griffeth." -The Athenaeum "A stirring Essex story by a popular historical writer. The scene is chiefly laid in the neighbourhood of Much Witham and Black Notley." -The East Anglian "Miss Everett-Green has laid the scenes of this story in the closing years of Henry VI's reign. The hero is for time the companion of the unfortunate Prince Edward....Well written and distinctly realistic. The life in Epping Forest at the old farm-house is particularly good, and the characters of the Devenish family are very lifelike. There is adventure, and fighting too, and we have Twekesbury and the murder of Prince Edward, though the author has not expanded history, but simply related the facts. It is history which cannot be remolded much, and naturally forbids a happy ending....Miss Everett-Green achieves a very fair success." -The Spectator Contents Prologue. Chapter 1: A Brush With The Robbers. Chapter 2: A Hospitable Shelter. Chapter 3: A Strange Encounter. Chapter 4: Paul's Kinsman. Chapter 5: In Peril. Chapter 6: In The Hands Of The Robbers. Chapter 7: The Protection Of The Protected. Chapter 8: The Rally Of The Red Rose. Chapter 9: The Tragedy Of Tewkesbury. Chapter 10: The Prince Avenged. Notes

Evelyn Ward Everett-Green (1856-1932) was an English novelist who started her writing career with improving and pious stories for children, and later wrote historical fiction for older girls, and then adult romantic fiction. She wrote about 350 books: more than 200 under her own name, and others using the pen-names H. F. E., Cecil Adair, E. Ward, or Evelyn Dare. In 1880 her first published work, Tom Tempest's Victory, appeared, and though it was soon followed by more, she found writing at home difficult, and town winters did not suit her health. In 1883 she went to live outside London with Catherine Mainwaring Sladen, and in the 1890s and early 1900s they had homes in Albury, Surrey. Her novel about Joan of Arc, Called of Her Country (1903), later re-published as A Heroine of France, presents Joan as a feminine "Angelic Maid" in white armour whose inspiring adventures were undertaken in a dutiful spirit. Much of Everett-Green's fiction was aimed at girls, but she also wrote boys' adventure stories, like A Gordon Highlander (1901).

"Mother, will the little prince be there?" "Yes, my son. He never leaves his mother's side. You will see them all today, if fortune favours us--the good King Henry, his noble queen, to whom he owes so much, and the little prince likewise. We will to horse anon, that we may gain a good view of the procession as it passes. The royal party lodges this night at our good bishop's palace. Perchance they will linger over the Sunday, and hear mass in our fair cathedral, Our loyal folks of Lichfield are burning to show their love by a goodly show of welcome; and it is said that his majesty takes pleasure in silvan sports and such-like simple pleasures, many preparations for the which have been prepared for him to witness."

About the Book Military history texts discuss the historical record of armed conflict in the history of humanity, its impact on people, societies, and their cultures. Some fundamental subjects of military history study are the causes of war, its social and cultural foundations, military doctrines, logistics, leadership, technology, strategy, and tactics used, and how these have developed over time. Thematic divisions of military history may include: Ancient warfare, Medieval warfare, Gunpowder warfare, Industrial warfare, and Modern warfare. Also in this Book Military strategy texts present ideas for military organizations to achieve their desired strategic goals. Military strategy discusses the planning and conduct of campaigns, the movement and disposition of forces, and how to deceive the enemy. Carl von Clausewitz (1780–1831), defined military strategy as "the employment of battles to gain the end of war." B. H. Liddell Hart defined strategy as "the art of distributing and applying military means to fulfill the ends of policy", which places more emphasis on political aims relative to military goals. Sun Tzu (544-496 BC) is the father of Eastern military strategy and greatly influenced Chinese, Japanese, Korean and Vietnamese war tactics. His book The Art of War has been very popular and has seen practical implementation in Western societies.
