The Young Buglers

Description

Two boys from Eton venture off to combat in this narrative of the Peninsular War. Join them on the Douro River, on the lines of Torres Vedras, and in the siege of the Badajos as they dodge danger in this stimulating account of the early nineteenth century.Remembering that in his own youth “books contained a very small share of amusement and a very large share of instruction,” Henty prides himself on writing historical fiction that is as captivating as it is informative.

First Sentence

Had any of the boys in the lower forms of Eton in the year 1808, been asked who were the most popular boys of their own age, they would have been almost sure to have answered, without the slightest hesitation, Tom and Peter Scudamore, and yet it is probable that no two boys were more often in disgrace.
