5.0 out of 5 stars Great medieval adventure tale, 9 Jan 2004
By Cecilia S. Idiart (Buenos Aires, Argentina) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Black Arrow (Penguin Popular Classics) (Paperback)
"The Black Arrow" is an exciting adventure story set in the 15th century England, when the houses of York and Lancaster fought against each other for this country's throne. Richard Shelton has to decide whether to ally with his treacherous guardian Sir Daniel Brackley against the fellowship of The Black Arrow, or try to rescue his beloved Joanna Sedley, who Sir Daniel has kidnapped. We follow young though brave Dick through towns and forests, across rivers and into hidden passages. Danger and adventure that don't slacken once in the whole novel plus a generous quota of love make "The Black Arrow" a book to be enjoyed by everyone who appreciates the fruits of a great imagination such as was Stevenson's.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good adventure book- not to all tastes, 25 Jan 2003
By "lexi_wades" - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)   
This review is from: The Black Arrow (Penguin Popular Classics) (Paperback)
As someone who is not a big adventure story fan this novel was engaging enough but nowhere near as excellent as Kidnapped or Treasure Island by the same author. What ruined it somewhat for me was the middle English dialogue which, unfortunatly, seemed like a bad Shakespeare parody (I lost count of the "prithee"s "beseech"s and "forsooth"s)- it also makes it difficult to understand in some places. All in all TBA is a brave effort but I feel it would be many times better if Stevenson had set it in his contemporary period of Victorian times.

5.0 out of 5 stars A superb adventure novel, 17 Feb 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: The Black Arrow: A Tale of the Two Roses (Hardcover)
"The Black Arrow" is R. L. Stevenson at his best. With a smooth, proper style Stevenson creates complex, conflictive characters in an adventure full of emotion and thrills. For anyone who likes adventure, this novel is going to be one of his/her favorites because in this book Stevenson combines beauty with danger.
