About this book
A Boy Knight by Martin Jerome Scott opens with a single act of kindness that sets a young hero on a timeless quest of honor and conscience. Set in the early 20th-century streets and parish halls of New York, this classic coming-of-age novel follows fourteen-year-old Frank Mulvy — a schoolboy, athlete, and club secretary — as he learns what true knighthood means through friendship, sacrifice, and moral tests. Written with gentle faith and moral clarity, the story blends youthful adventure with spiritual and social themes: the pull of duty, the meaning of courage, and the sweep of communal life around St. Leonard’s Church and its Boy’s Club.
Rich in period detail and quietly inspirational, A Boy Knight is a piece of juvenile fiction that reads as both a historical snapshot and a guide to character-building for young listeners. Chapters that echo medieval quests — The New Quest, The Field of Honor, The Holy Grail — frame Frank’s modern trials without ever losing their human warmth. Ideal for fans of classic children’s literature, parents seeking wholesome family listening, and anyone who enjoys heartening tales of growth and integrity, this audiobook rewards with gentle drama and enduring values.
