In 1790, Harry Sandwich, an English boy of good family, is invited to become the companion of the sons of a French aristocrat family living in Paris. After saving one of the daughters from the teeth of a mad dog, he is elevated to hero status and becomes a close comrade of the boys, and protector of the three daughters. His bravery serves him well, as he soon realizes that he has been thrust into the reign of terror of the French Revolution.

Led by Maximilian Robespierre, the revolutionaries sought to establish the “Republic of Virtue,” thus creating citizens of pure morals, high ideals, and patriotism. This, however, led to seizing the property of the wealthy nobles, and condemning to the guillotine anyone who associated with the monarchy, or expressed royalist views.

The Marquis and his family become the target of this merciless Jacobin reign, and Harry is tested to the limit as he tries to aid them. Falling short of saving the entire family, and feared to be dead by his family in England, he risks his life to rescue at least the two youngest girls.

It’s a rousing Henty tale at its best.
