| Description |
|
|
A winner of the 1998 John Newbery Medal—and for good reason—this delightful and unique book for readers 8 to 13 describes the medieval world through the eyes and lives of the young people who lived in it, presented as monologues, verse, and dialogues to be read aloud or enacted. Each is filled with authentic details, language, and notes to explain the more unusual facets; even more important, Laura Amy Schlitz has given the falconer's sons and blacksmith's daughters the sorts of hopes, fears, and dreams they might have really had, making the history of those ages come alive. Robert Byrd's charming ink and watercolor drawings suggest miniatures from illuminated manuscripts.
