The Black Arrow
Set in late fifteenth-century England, The Black Arrow takes place during the Wars of the Roses, a long civil conflict between the House of Lancaster, symbolized by the red rose, and the House of York, symbolized by the white rose.
Gloucester plays a significant role in the story, and Dick's adventures occur against the historical backdrop of a civil war notorious in English history.
