St. Bartholomew's Eve
G. A. Henty
Lu par Anna Christensen
Set in the days of the religious wars of Europe, St. Bartholomew's Eve is the tale of the Huguenot's desperate fight for freedom of worship in France. As the struggle intensifies the plot thickens, culminating in the dreadful Massacre of St. Bartholomew's Eve. Henty, "The Boy's Own Storyteller" weaves the life and adventures of Philip Fletcher and his cousin, Francois DeLaville, into the historical background with thrilling battles, sieges and escapes along the way (not to mention a fair damsel in distress! ).

Critiques
very good
gardengirl
a very enjoyable book. the reader did a good job pronouncing all of the French.
Exciting Story, Well-Read
Michelle Fearn
This book would be difficult to read in print version for a non-French speaker due to the numerous French names. The reader pronounced them beautifully and and gave different inflection and tone to the many characters. Thank you for this great contribution to making an important piece of literature more accessible!

AMAZING BOOK
A LibriVox Listener
the story was very well handled for being such a sad topic, and I like the fact that Henty takes the story from the military aspect and not the religious. the reader does an awesome job. I wish she read more.
Excellent book, probably the best by this author.
Seven Archers

a good story well read. though the French pronunciations are rather strange, which is the only reason I did not give it the full 5 stars.
