The Dragon and the Raven by G. A. Henty-Audio Theater**

The Extraordinary Adventures of G. A. Henty
by Heirloom Audio Productions
The Danes are invading Britain.  Can King Alfred of Wessex, a young king who never dreamed of being in leadership, save his country from their pillage?  Edmund, a teen, who has witnessed first hand their brutality, vows his allegiance to King Alfred.  King Alfred teaches this young warrior to not to be just strong in combat, but also in spiritual and moral matters.
We loved listening to this superb performance. 
Well known actors and actresses performed - John Ryhs-Davies (Lord of the Rings/Indiana Jones), Helen George (Call the Midwife), Brian Blessed (Star Wars, Tarzan, King Lear), Sylvester McCoy (Doctor Who VII, The Hobbit), John Bell (The Hobbit) and our favorite-Katherine Kellgren (Award-winning narrator who is now deceased). 
**Highly, highly recommend.  Brings this time period and these historical figures alive!
