THE KING LIVETH

Boys and girls, too, who have loved and cherished the King Arthur stories will like this tale of England of the period following the supposed death of Alfred -- an England harried by Danes, open to penetration. Ranulph, thane of the King, encounters the King's ward, Morwenna, protects her and finds his master. Together they collect a loyal band, organize raids and guerilla warfare, and Alfred leads Guthru, the Danish leader, into a trap from which the English emerge victorious, while Ranulph save Morwenna from a traitors' stronghold, and joins Alfred in the rout of the Danes..... Picture of England's legendary king-hero in usual Farnol style.
