About
The Black Arrow tells the story of Richard (Dick) Shelton during the Wars of the Roses: how he becomes a knight, rescues his lady Joanna Sedley, and obtains justice for the murder of his father, Sir Harry Shelton. Outlaws in<br />Tunstall Forest organized by Ellis Duckworth, whose weapon and calling card is a black arrow, cause Dick to suspect<br />that his guardian Sir Daniel Brackley and his retainers are responsible for his father's murder. Dick's suspicions<br />are enough to turn Sir Daniel against him, so he has no recourse but to escape from Sir Daniel and join the outlaws<br />of the Black Arrow against him. This struggle sweeps him up into the greater conflict surrounding them all.<br />The story of the Wars of the Roses is told in miniature by The Black Arrow. (Summary from Wikipedia)
