From the beloved author of Treasure Island and Kidnapped . . .
England is in the throes of the War of the Roses. As the houses of Lancaster and York vie for the crown, young Dick Shelton eagerly serves under his guardian, Sir Daniel Brackley, whose lessons he hopes will make him worthy of becoming a knight.
But Sir Daniel and his allies have been targeted by the outlaws known as the fellowship of the Black Arrow. This band of archers has a different lesson to teach Shelton about loyalty, honor, revenge, and the ambiguities between good and evil.
Originally serialized in a periodical of boys’ adventure fiction, The Black Arrow furthered the genre of the historical novel through its swashbuckling action and its portrayal of a young man’s journey to discover the heroism within himself.

Robert Louis Stevenson (1850-94) studied law at Edinburgh University but was determined to become a writer. His extensive travels throughout Europe formed the basis of his first two books. Stevenson is most famous for such thrilling novels as Treasure Island (1883), Kidnapped (1886), The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (1886), and The Master of Ballantrae (1889). When he died, he left behind the unfinished manuscript for Weir of Hermiston.
Gary Hoppenstand, a professor at Michigan State University, teaches in the Department of Writing, Rhetoric, and American Cultures. He has written introductions for two other Signet Classic editions: Baroness Orczy’s The Scarlet Pimpernel and Rafael Sabitini’s Scaramouche. Considered the leading authority on the adventure story, he is currently writing a literary history of popular fiction. He is also president of the national Popular Culture Association and the current editor of The Journal of Popular Culture.
