** "The Armourer's Prentices" by Charlotte M. Yonge is a captivating story set in the Tudor era, detailing the lives of two young brothers, Ambrose and Stephen Birkenholt, who must make their own way in the world after the death of their father.

Accompanied by their loyal dog, Spring, the brothers' adventure shapes their character as they confront challenges and build their destinies in a world vastly different from their peaceful upbringing as they deal with the loss of a father, all to make it on their own. **
