[Gutenberg 22942] • Clare Avery: A Story of the Spanish Armada

Excert from the book

This book, one of Emily Holt's many historical novels, is set in the

reign of Elizabeth, around the time of the Armada, which has a chapter

to itself. The story revolves round a moderately well-off family, who

really did exist, many details of the family being given in the last

chapter, or Appendix. In order to make the story realistic there are a

number of fictitious persons, but there is always a note to that effect

when the person first appears. In general these fictitious persons are

no more than minor characters.
