Kenneth Roberts/Arundel
A 5 page book review that summarizes and analyzes this historical novel. Arundel by Kenneth Roberts is a novel that part adventure story, part history, but also the coming of age story of the story's narrator and protagonist Steven Nason, of the town of Arundel, "in the county of York and the province of Maine" (Roberts 1). When the novel opens Steven has just turned twelve and the year is 1759. The narrative follows him through his formative years and into the time of the American Revolution, when the story unfolds against the real-life historical event of Colonel Benedict Arnold's ill-fated attempt to take Quebec in 1775. As this suggests, one of the most intriguing aspects of this book is that it allows glimpses of history that come alive via this talented historian/author. No other sources cited.
