Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.
Charles Major (1856-1913) was an American lawyer and novelist. In
1898, he published his first novel, "When Knighthood Was in
Flower," about England during the reign of King Henry VIII.
Subtitled, "The Love Story of Charles Brandon and Mary Tudor the
King's Sister, and Happening in the Reign of His August Majesty
King Henry the Eighth," When Knighthood Was in Flower is a
fascinating novel set against the historic backdrop of the palaces
and political intrigues of England and France. Based on the memoir
of Sir Edwin Caskoden.
Goddess Fortune seems to delight in smiling on a man who risks his
all, including life, perhaps, on a desperate chance of, say one to
one hundred. If her Ladyship frowns and he loses, his friends call
him a fool; if he wins, they say he is a lucky devil and are
pleased to share his prosperity if he happens to be of a giving
disposition. Lucky? No! He has simply minted his courage.
Charles Major (1856-1913) was an American lawyer and novelist. His
"When Knighthood Was in Flower" was a New York Times best-seller
for three years.
