Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Legends of Westmorland and the Lake District "Hie thee home, Holiday, and tell Gertrude that her brother´s good sword has brought as noble an eagle from his border eyrie as ever graced the hall of our forefathers, whether as guest or prisoner." The horseman addressed, immediately clapped spurs to his steed, and then away went the boldest man at arms whom the banks of bonnie Kent could shew, to apprise the sister of Walter de Strickland, that her brother was returning from a border foray with his prisoners and spoil. The party had just reached the height which commands a view of Kendal. The evening sun was hastening to its rest behind the magnificent Pikes; yet there was abundant light to see the grey turrets of Burneside Hall, the venerable-looking Hospital embosomed beneath overhanging woods, and the lordly towers of the Castle of the Parrs; and Walter almost fancied ho could discern the loftiest peak of the Watchman´s tower, peering above the noble trees which encircled Sizergh, the ancient mansion of his fathers. Though young, Walter was no novice in border warfare; yet never had his previous success been so great as at present. His eye turned to the group behind him, as Holliday disappeared, but it was only for a moment. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
