Under the Red Dragon: A Novel

First published in 1872, Under the Red Dragon is James Grant at his most stirring: a novel of adventure, loyalty, and romance by one of the Victorian era's most prolific and beloved storytellers. Grant made his name with tales of soldiering and historical daring, and here he brings his gift for swift narrative and rich period colour to a story that takes its name and spirit from the red dragon banner of Wales. This edition presents the complete, unabridged original text exactly as Victorian readers first encountered it, accompanied by a new introduction placing Grant and his work in context, and reader's notes illuminating the language, customs, and history of his world. Whether you are discovering a forgotten master of historical adventure or returning to an old favourite, this volume invites you to settle in and let the story carry you.
