Sancho had been prepared to contact the English advancing up the Tagus even before Anita and her father,frail Don Claudio, realized how desperate their plight was; now it was more imperative than ever that Sancho get through. Ensign Peter Byrd and his friend Ensign the Honorable Charles Neville had helped Anita del Riego once before. It was to them that she now looked, not only for rescue, but also for aid in conveying something potentially crucial to the outcome of Spain and England's defiant stand against the mighty armies of Napoleon. Daring climbs and fiery battles, strange duels and affairs of honor, traitorous acts and faithful friendships abound in these two tales of the Flying Ensign's exploits. Recommended for ages 10 and up.
