The Curse of Carne Hold A Tale of Adventure eBook G A George Alfred Henty
When I downloaded this book I had no clue what it was about, I just knew the author's work. If you're in the same boat, I'll enlighten you: this is a historical fiction work about a conflict between the British empire and the Zulus in Africa set in the 1850s. Aside from the historical events, there is a very involved plot that keeps the reader entertained throughout. In spite of the mention of a curse in the title, this is not a "scary" story, but it does involve a murder and includes some characters with insanity tending toward violence. As the author was a thorough Victorian Englishman, the book is pretty clean cut--although some readers might be offended by certain references to the native Africans by antiquated terms which are now considered to be racist.Product details

The Curse of Carne Hold A Tale of Adventure eBook G A George Alfred Henty Reviews
This is an accurate translation. It works well on kindle, clear and easy to read. As always read Henty critically.
I chose the 4 star rating because I like the puzzle, questioning, mystery and detective work that make up this story. Was there really a curse or was it just poor management? In this story we find honor, loyalty, love, betrayal, murder, escape, final judgment and relief..
When henty writes a story, he puts everything in but the kitchen sink. This story has English village life, madness, the curse, a trial, war in south Africa, military life, homesteading on the veldt....nonstop entertainment.
Like all Henty's stories this is just a absorbing as the others and well worth readings. How they teach you history at the same time is just a bonus. In this story the main character could have bumped into Winston Churchill........in South Africa.
Very different from his other books. Really two different stories. A bit of psychology and a bit of Beau Geste. Deals with the wars in South Africa and the Kaffir uprising during the British Colonial rule. Not too detailed however. A novel for adults.
