Synopsis "westward ho! - or, the voyages and adventures of sir amyas leigh, knight of burrough in the county of devon"
This book tells the tale of Amyas Leigh, a badly-behaved child who follows Francis Drake's nautical adventures. For the most part the story concerns the kidnap of Rose Salterne, with whom Amyas is enamoured. However, after seeking gold in the Caribbean, Amyas comes back to England during the Spanish armada and finds true love in the beautiful Indian maiden Ayacanora. Westward Ho! is an epic tale of love, adventure and tragedy to be enjoyed equally by all readers of this romantic classic. Charles Kingsley was a priest of the Church of England, historian, writer, and university professor, particularly associated with the West Country. Originally published in 1855, we are proud to republish this scare novel with an introductory biography of the author.
