Summary

** "Sir Ludar" by Talbot Baines Reed is an adventurous tale set in the time of Queen Elizabeth I, centered around a young apprentice named Humphrey Dexter. Eager for excitement, Humphrey's life takes an unexpected turn when he gets caught up in spirited events, playful rivalries, and bold confrontations in the dynamic world of London. Starting with the anticipation of a royal procession and overflowing support for Queen Elizabeth, we quickly see Humphrey go from eager participant to protector, defending innocents. He faces challenges that test his understanding of loyalty, reputation, and ultimately, his identity as his world expands beyond the printing shop of his master. **
