A very different England from what any boy of to-day has seen. A chilly east wind was blowing. The trees of the vast forests were all in leaf but the ash trees, and they were unfolding their buds. And along a bridle-path a few miles southwest of York a lad of fourteen was riding, while behind him followed a handsome deerhound. A boy of fourteen, at that age of the world, was an older and more important personage than he is to-day. If he were well-born he had, generally, by this time, served his time as a page and was become an esquire in the train of some noble lord. That this lad had not done so was because his uncle, a prior in whose charge he had been reared since the early death of his parents, had designed him for a priest. Priest, however, he had declined to be, and his uncle had now permitted him to go forth unattended to attach himself as page to some lord, if he could.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"1st World Library - Literary Society","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47613273342103,"sku":"9781421803494","price":2103.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781421803494.webp?v=1775083923","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/a-boys-ride-9781421803494","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
