Résumé : « The Black Arrow » by Robert Louis Stevenson is a gripping work of historical fiction set during the tumultuous Wars of the Roses in medieval England. The novel follows young Richard Shelton, a loyal squire who becomes entangled in a web of intrigue, betrayal, and adventure after discovering his guardians involvement in his fathers murder. Driven by a quest for justice, Richard joins the outlaw band known as the Black Arrow, whose members fight against injustice and oppression. As Richard navigates the dangers of civil war, he encounters a cast of memorable characters, including the mysterious Joanna Sedley, who joins him in disguise, and the cunning Sir Daniel Brackley. The story is filled with daring escapes, thrilling sword fights, and unexpected alliances, all set against the backdrop of a country divided by conflict.

Its themes of coming of age, justice, and the struggle for freedom resonate with fans of historical fiction, adventure stories, and classic literature. The novel is a compelling read for those who enjoy swashbuckling action, intricate plots, and richly drawn characters.
