Overview

Memorable historical drama concerns rebellion against King Henry led by Harry Percy ("Hotspur") and other nobles, complicated by the king's difficulties with his wayward son, Prince Hal. Superb blend of courtly intrigue, battlefield action, and low comedy featuring Sir John Falstaff, all expressed in fine blank verse and stirring prose.

Synopsis

Great drama of nobles' rebellion against King Henry, complicated by his problems with his wayward son Prince Hal. Superb blend of courtly intrigue, battlefield action, and the wonderful comic interludes featuring Sir John Falstaff.
