Rendition In Pursuance Of Books Arundel (Chronicles of Arundel #1)

I LOVED this book. It was our May Book Club selection and I was pretty lukewarm about it as a choice,but...it turned into one of those gems I never would have read on my own. Roberts lived in Kennebunkport ,ME. and a book club member has a house there and that was our venue. We wanted to read a book with Maine as a theme and this was GREAT. The genre is historical fiction.Basically it tells the story of a young man in love going to get back his girl who has been kidnapped. But,it is sooo much more. Details about the settler's life,their relationships with the Indians, (P.S.-the Abenakis saved the settler's butts on more than one occasion) what they ate,everything is wonderfully chronicled. The story involves real people as well,Benedict Arnold and Aaron Burr feature prominently. So it's researched day-to day life in them thar woods around 1775 and historical reporting of some early revolutionary war patriots. If you love to know what it was like to live in other times and if you're fantasies include a rough and rugged Daniel Boone type guy,then read this book.

Evaluate Of Books Arundel (Chronicles of Arundel #1)

AmazingI loved this classic. Thoroughly readable and so filled with facts about life and the differences between colonies and states and all the wrangling but still coming together great stories of Benedict Arnold and other Officers

My wife read this first and told me I'd like it. And I did. I don't read a ton of historical fiction, but I was a history major and mainly focused on 17th-19th century America (well, as much as an undergrad major can be focused anyway), so this seemed like it would be a fun read. It is.It's narrated by Steven Nason, who is from Arundel, Maine (now Kennebunkport), who leaves his home to become a guide/soldier in the Continental Army under Benedict Arnold as Arnold is charged by George Washington

This is an early historical novel, written in the 1930's. It's the first of a trilogy, and I enjoyed it. One of the interesting parts of this book, is how much the author admires Benedict Arnold. (This story takes place during the American Revolution.) I think that most of us think of Arnold only as a traitor to his country. This novel makes me want to ready a biography of Arnold.

It's been a LONG time since I read any Kenneth Roberts, a writer very popular among my parents generation. Early American Colonial historical fiction is his specialty. I've read "The Lively Lady" and "Boon Island" previously. This one starts out in Maine, down along the southern coast not far up from Kittery, where my parents lived for many years. I was looking for an interesting and adventurous read and it looks like I made the right choice. The cover image is correct for the book I have, but

I wanted to read this story. And I still want to read this story, but I want to read it in a more engaging way. I really tried, and I do think he is a proficient writer, but somehow this fell flat for me.

This is probably the best work of historical fiction I have ever read. It is the story of Benedict Arnold's March to Quebec (when Arnold was still a good guy), as seen through the eyes of a teenage boy who comes along. It's like Last of the Mohicans meets Annakin Skywalker. It blows the Harry Potter books away, and I say that as one who absolutely loved the Potter series. Arundel is full of adventure, great characters, unforgettable scenery, romance, humor, just about everything you could hope
