Arthur Marcus hill Cheek July 31 1840 to the 17 June 1857 was an English man, a boy really, whom while in India was killed at age 16 during the 1857 Indian mutiny. He is regarded as a Christian martyr as he was kept in the stocks in the baking sun and beaten for days and told to renounce his faith and convert to Islam and because he did not he was killed by his Muslim captors. He was immeasurably brave and embodied the Victorian spirit of the British at that time.
I was basically born with the Arthur TV show, and in my opinion, it's dorky, but I love it! I'd highly recommend it! ;D.
