About the work

The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:

LibriVox recording of Both Sides the Border: A Tale of Hotspur and Glendower by G. A. Henty. Read in English by Alexandria Adair. Oswald Forster grows up during the tumultuous years of the early 15th century on the English/Scottish border. Entering the service of Henry "Hotspur" Percy, he travels throughout England, Wales, and Scotland, fighting Glendower and the Welsh, the Bairds and their allies in Scotland, and finally assisting the Percy family in their attempt to overthrow King Henry and re-instate the true heir, thereby beginning the Wars of the Roses.
