Talk:Westward Ho! (novel)

[Untitled]
Any chance of a short description of what happens in the story in the book? Anthony Appleyard 08:17, 8 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Done. Seems much more helpful than the preface. ;-) --Dhartung | Talk 21:27, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

Unusual characters in placenames

 * the only place name in England to contain an exclamation mark.


 * In Northamptonshire is a small wood named "Tally Ho", without an ! on the Ordnance Survey map, but with an ! in a book that I have. Anthony Appleyard 05:50, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

Children's book?
Is Westward Ho! considered a children's book? If so, for what ages? JamesMLane t c 23:48, 23 March 2008 (UTC)


 * The book reads as if it's target audience is adolescent males, destined to become empire builders. So, no, it's not really a children's book. Some of the themes are quite adult, e.g. religious politics, the Spannish domination of the native Americans, etc.--ML5 (talk) 12:45, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

Expand?
Could we expand this page? It's one of Kingsley's most famous and best works so doesn't it deserve some more space? -Seaspray17 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 204.11.25.80 (talk) 19:59, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
 * OK. Make a start. Anyone can edit. Don't be afraid to make bold changes.--ML5 (talk) 21:35, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
