Summary

"The Lances of Lynwood" by Charlotte M. Yonge is a historical story that takes place in the 1300s, a period marked by bravery and battles in medieval England. The book focuses on the Lynwood family, especially young Eustace Lynwood, and explores the ideas of faithfulness, respect, and his path to becoming a knight. At the start, we're shown Lynwood Keep, a peaceful place during King Edward III's time. We are introduced to important people such as Sir Reginald Lynwood, his thoughtful wife Eleanor, and their son Eustace, who wants to become a great knight. The story starts warmly, with Reginald coming home from war. As he talks about past fights, we learn about Eustace's dreams. This excitement builds as the brothers talk about being a knight, training, and the worries of going back to war with the Prince of Wales. This prepares us for Eustace's changes as he faces the hard times of war.
