Bring history back to life through Jim Hodges' historically accurate, exciting, and edifying audio recordings.
On August 24, 1572, more than 2,000 French Huguenots - men, women, and children - were massacred for their faith. In St. Bartholomew's Eve, Henty vividly depicts Admiral Coligny's unflinching bravery, Queen Elizabeth's vacillating foreign policy, Catherine de Medici's vindictive scheming, and the queen of Navarre's inner strength as he recounts the adventures of Phillip Fletcher, son of an Englishman and a Frenchwoman, who journeys to France to take part in the Huguenots' struggle for freedom. He and his band of soldiers see much combat, and Phillip's skill as a swordsman and marksman is required innumerable times before he returns as a hero to England.
The Henty Historical Novel Collection, written by George Henty in the 1800s, covers many time periods in history throughout the world. In this collection you will learn history, geography, and vocabulary while also discovering hero characters for your children to emulate.

The plot feels reminiscent of Henty’s French Revolution story, “In the Reign of Terror” which is excellent - both the narration (the audible version by Stuart Langton) and the storyline.
I switched over to the abridged version by Heirloom Audio and enjoyed the two hour version. It was nice having a bit more of the back story provided in the full version to the Huguenots and Philip Fletcher. But Henty does just provide a lot of excess detail (troop movements etc) that just feel too dull to slog through sometimes.
I’m sure it’s a great story overall, if you can tolerate Hodges. There’s a bit of love story included between Philip and Clare.
A dull start, maybe a good one?
