Beric is a boy-chief of a British tribe which takes a prominent part in the insurrection under Boadicea: and after the defeat of that heroic queen he continues the struggle in the fen-country. Ultimately Beric is defeated and carried captive to Rome, where he succeeds in saving a Christian maid by slaying a lion in the arena, and is rewarded by being made the personal protector of Nero. Finally, he escapes and returns to Britain, where he becomes a wise ruler of his own people. "He is a hero of the most attractive kind.... One of the most spirited and well-imagined stories Mr. Henty has written."--_Saturday Review._ "His conflict with a lion in the arena is a thrilling chapter."--_School Board Chronicle._ "Full of every form of heroism and pluck."--_Christian World._ -- The Dash for Khartoum: A Tale of the Nile Expedition.
