A Stout English Bowman: being a story of chivalry in the days of Henry III., etc
A boys' historical adventure novel by Edgar T. Pickering, set in the reign of Henry III and issued by Blackie & Son in 1898 for young readers. Grey wash plates show helmeted soldiers, prisoners in vaulted cells and sword fights, while publisher's advertisement pages carry thumbnail cuts of shipboard cannon and armoured combat, useful for period figures and small dense text-and-image layouts.
