Черная стрела

The adventure novel by Robert Louis Stevenson "The Black Arrow" immerses the reader in the realities of the 15th century — the time of the Yorks and the Lancasters' conflict. While the noble knight Sir Daniel seeks new opportunities to profit from the war, his ward Richard Shelton is forced to take under his protection the escaped prisoner John Matcham. Young Shelton must undergo a series of trials, fight for his love, and meet the outlaws from the "Black Arrow" band. Also included in the collection is the mystical story "The Accursed Janet," based on Scottish folk beliefs.
