Book Review: Men of Iron

Men of Iron, by Howard Pyle
Review by Matthew Harper

Publish date: 1891,(Serenity Pub.)

Pages: 176
Age range: 10-13+
Time period: Medieval

Myles Falworth seems an unlikely champion. When he was eight, his father was blinded by a mortal enemy. Myles and his family are forced to leave their comfortable castle to a dismal little cottage in the village. Myles dreams of being a knight, so when his father sends him off to the Earl of Mackworth to be a knight, Myles is overjoyed.

This is the story of a young man who works his way through the ranks and gets a wonderful reward. In a world of death, life, hope, despair, treason and faith, who knows what could happen next!

In a nutshell: Good book, blood, Myles is a little disrespectful, a book for young men
