Synopsis

Jehane Of The Forest is a historical fiction novel written by L. A. Talbot and first published in 1914. The story is set in medieval England and follows the life of Jehane, a spirited and independent young woman who lives in the forest with her father, a former knight who has turned to a life of hunting and poaching. When her father is captured and imprisoned by the local lord, Jehane must use her wits and bravery to save him, while also navigating the dangerous political and social landscape of the time. Along the way, she meets and falls in love with a young knight, but their relationship is threatened by the prejudices and expectations of their respective social classes. The novel is a tale of adventure, romance, and the struggle for justice in a world where power and privilege are often at odds with the values of honor and compassion.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
