Giveaway - Harry the Fifth by David Greagg
A joyous romp through C15th England and France, in which a young King Henry V prepares for war. Again. Battle plans are made, as ordinary people on both sides – either reluctantly or in a quest for glory – are drawn into the fray.
About Harry the Fifth
If you love Shakespeare’s tragicomedies but think they should be funnier then Harry the Fifth is for you. It’s a splendid adventure – and retake on the Bard’s Henry V – starring kings and queens, lord and ladies, bowmen and swordsman, conspiring bishops and vengeful friars, minstrels and actors, lusty men and feisty women, and a beloved village alchemist.
Cannons will be forged, archers will be assembled, actors will inspire, the clergy will conspire, and songs will be sung. You will discover a good village priest really can talk to the mother of god; and learn just what reggae has to do with any of it.
