What is The Road to Waterloo (Slightly Foxed Cubs) about?

The manuscript of The Road to Waterloo lay unread among Ronald Welchs papers for more than thirty years after his death and is published here, with specially commissioned illustrations, for the first time. Though not officially part of the Carey series, this novella fills a significant gap in the family story and fits neatly into the series the French mother of its young protagonist James Carey, we learn, had fled to England during the Revolution, an episode which featured in the earlier novel Escape from France . Now James, at seventeen, is a Cornet in the 30th Light Dragoons, preparing to confront Napoleon Bonaparte, who has recently escaped from Elba. Its a thrilling picture of the build-up to Wellingtons victory at Waterloo and of a great army preparing for battle, and it has all the inimitable Welch ingredients a young hero who grows up during the course of the book, entirely believable characters and a fast-paced plot brought alive by vivid historical detail.
