These are stories of a romantic band of outlaws and their dashing leader, fighting the King and his minions in a 1600's Germany that never was. Thrills! Betrayal! Trickery! and/or Romance! They're wonderful tales, each following twisty pathways all different, and all great fun. With an introduction to Sabatini and to these stories by Sabatini scholar Jesse F. Knight.
