A Pageant of Victory — Jeffery Farnol
This story opens in Virginia in 1774, at the moment when resentment at King George's treatment of the America Colonies and anger at Gaye's misguided high-handedness in Massachusetts and particularly in Boston, are blazing up to rebellion.
George Charteris, Lord Wraybourne, a perfervidly loyal Tory peer settled in Virginia, vehemently denounces the agitation as treason, and is infuriated when his nephew, Anthony Falconbridge, expresses sympathy with it and declares his belief in the future of America as an independent sovereign power. Thus a family feud is originated which provides the main thread upon which all subsequent episodes constituting the novel are strung.
A Pageant of Victory is a first rate story. Large in conception, and beautifully constructed, it is one of Jeffery Farnol's most sought after novels.
