The two opposing factions were the House of Lancaster (symbolized by a red rose) and the House of York (represented by a white rose). Basically, the Wars of the Roses were a series of English civil wars for control of the throne during the fifteenth century. If you are like me and slept a lot in high school, no need to fear as a knowledge of the history is not necessary to enjoy this book.
The Black Arrow is set during the turbulent period in British history known as the Wars of the Roses. While The Black Arrow is not as universally celebrated as the other two, I did find it to be quite an enjoyable little adventure with lots of action and intrigue. Fellow bibliophile and blogger Joelendil recommended this one to me so special shout out to you kind Sir. Hydefor vastly different reasons so I was excited about the prospect of tackling another Stevenson classic. I really enjoyed both Treasure Island and The Strange Case of Dr. Last year, I read and reviewed two works by Robert Louis Stevenson.
