About Westward Ho!

Westward Ho! is an 1855 historical novel written by British author Charles Kingsley, set in the Elizabethan era and written in a mock Elizabethan tone. It follows the adventures of Amyas Leigh, who sets sail with Francis Drake and other privateers to the Caribbean, where they battle with the Spanish. Originally targeted at adults, Westward Ho! was deemed suitable for children due to its mixture of patriotism, sentiment and romance, and became a firm favourite of children's literature during the 19th century. Its popularity has declined in the 21st century because of its anti-Catholicism and its racist attitudes towards indigenous peoples.
