Excellent History!

I'm studying Roman History in school. This book was fun, interesting, and it brought to life the people who lived in Rome's empire. I couldn't put it down! I cheered when Beric, a man of strong character and wisdom, prevailed against his enemies. I highly recommend this book to anyone studying Roman or British history, as well as anyone just looking for a good read that encourages good values.

Another great Henty novel

Luck was with us when my kids and I discovered the obscure author of this book, G. A. Henty. As a homeschooling mom I am always looking for books that bring history and geography to life. Mr. Henty accomplishes this beautifully and his books are rapidly becoming our favorites.This is the story of a young Briton during the Roman occupation of Britain. He is captured and taken as a slave to Rome where he has one adventure after another. Mr. Henty provides such rich detail in his narration that the reader gets the "feel" of the Roman and British cultures he is describing. The Henty books are a mainstay of our social studies curriculum and I know the kids learn and retain much more history by reading these novels than they do by working out of a dry social studies textbook. I highly reccommend these books !

Beric The Briton

Henty presents an wonderful look at the history of England under the domination of the Roman Empire. This is a story of great courage and daring on the part of Beric and a look at Rome in its declining stages. However, not all the honorable men and women belonged to England.

G. A. Henty's best book

This is Definitley my favorite book by the "boys own historian" the Plot is great and the charachters are well devoloped

Very good history glance with action packed epic thrills.

Beric the Briton was a very well written book about a young man in the time of the Roman Empire. He lived a peacefull life in Briton until Rome came and conquered it. In full defiance of Rome he gathers an army and is defeated. He is captured and it leads to a thrilling tale of his adventurous escapes and eventually rulling Briton under Roman authority.
