Synopsis

Set against the backdrop of 17th-century London, When London Burned follows a young protagonist through the final days of the English Civil War, the Great Plague, and the Great Fire. Amid danger and political unrest, he navigates loyalty, loss, and personal growth while serving those in power and those in need. Henty's vivid historical detail and moral clarity make this both a thrilling and instructive tale of resilience and honor.

George Alfred Henty (1832-1902) wrote over 120 books, including many historical adventure tales popular with young boys.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Webster's edition of this classic is organized to expose the reader to a maximum number of synonyms and antonyms for difficult and often ambiguous English words that are encountered in other works of literature, conversation, or academic examinations. Extremely rare or idiosyncratic words and expressions are given lower priority in the notes compared to words which are ¿difficult, and often encountered¿ in examinations. Rather than supply a single synonym, many are provided for a variety of meanings, allowing readers to better grasp the ambiguity of the English language, and avoid using the notes as a pure crutch. Having the reader decipher a word's meaning within context serves to improve vocabulary retention and understanding. Each page covers words not already highlighted on previous pages. If a difficult word is not noted on a page, chances are that it has been highlighted on a previous page. A more complete thesaurus is supplied at the end of the book; synonyms and antonyms are extracted from Webster's Online Dictionary.
