The Brethren by H. Rider Haggard

24Oct. Kindle.

Two noble knights - brothers, of course - are both deeply in love with the same fair maiden. This set against the background of the crusades. Thank goodness, the fair maiden is not the Victorian fainting away at the sight of blood type. She is kidnapped by minions of the great Saracen chief, Saladin, and the brethren pursue her through all sorts of extremely improbable adventures until at last she must declare her preference for one of the brothers.
