Micah Clarke is a historical adventure novel by British author Arthur Conan Doyle, published in 1889 by Longmans, Green, and Co and set during the Monmouth Rebellion of 1685 in England. The protagonist, Micah Clarke, begins as a boy seeking adventure in a rather romantic and naive way, falls under the influence of an older and vastly experienced, world-weary soldier of fortune, and becomes a grown up after numerous experiences, some of them very harrowing. At the conclusion he must go into exile as a hunted outlaw, becomes a soldier of fortune himself and is launched on lifetime military career. In the process the book also records much of the history of the Monmouth Rebellion, from the point of view of someone living in 17th century England. James II, Lord Grey of Warke, John Churchill, Judge Jeffreys, and other historical figures appear in the novel. A radio play adaptation by John Holloway was broadcast on BBC Radio in 1937. A seven-part adaptation by John Hale was broadcast on the BBC Home Service in 1966. BBC Radio 4 broadcast a five-part adaptation in 1985.
