A Champion Of the Faith: A Tale of Prince Hal and the Lollards. By J.
M. CALLWELL. With 6 page Illustrations by HERBERT J. DRAPER. Crown
8vo, cloth elegant, 4_s._
The earlier part of this story deals with the merry escapades of
Prince Hal and his favourite, Sir John Oldcastle. Then the
narrative deepens in its interest when the Prince ascends the
throne as Henry V., while his old comrade becomes a Lollard and a
champion of the new faith. As such, Sir John Oldcastle endures
many hardships, and escapes from the Tower, but finally he is
captured by treachery and burnt at the stake. This historical tale
is full of the most interesting episodes, while at the same time
its tone is pure and ennobling.
