| Publisher Description: Beric, a boy-chief of a British tribe, takes a prominent part in the insurrection against Rome under Queen Boadicea. These efforts are useless against the mighty Roman army. For a short time, Beric and his companions continue the fight but are ultimately defeated and taken as prisoners to Rome.Through the eyes of Beric, the listener learns of life in 61 AD Rome, the gladiatorial schools, the great fire, and life in Nero's court. This classic work will shed light upon an event much neglected in history today. |
Contributor Bio(s): Henty, George Alfred: - George Alfred Henty (1832-1902) was a prolific English novelist and war correspondent. He is best known for his historical adventure stories for boys that were popular in the late nineteenth century. Hodges, Jim: -Jim Hodges began reading aloud in the second grade with a stirring rendition of Dick and Jane. He continued to volunteer to speak throughout his schooling years, volunteered to perform as a newscaster during his twenty years in the Navy, and performing in community theater. His wife, Monica, once asked what his dream job would be. He answered, "I'd record books." And so began Jim Hodges Audio Books, producing unabridged recordings of the G. A. Henty historical novels, children's books, Overtly Christian titles, and classic literature. |
