<i> "Of all the chapters of history, there are few more interesting or wonderful than that which tells the story of the rise and progress of Venice."</i><br> And thus begins another swashbuckling adventure by G. A. Henty. The great city-state is in trouble from Genoa and other neighboring cities, and of course it's up to a young English lad to save her! Kidnappings, sea battles, dangerous adventures of all sorts and even a little romance combine to make this one of Henty's most exciting novels.
