\n Newbery Medal Winner! Step back to an English village in 1255, where life plays out in dramatic vignettes illuminating twenty-two unforgettable characters.<\/p>\n

Maidens, monks, and millers\u2019 sons \u2014 in these pages, readers will meet them all. There\u2019s Hugo, the lord\u2019s nephew, forced to prove his manhood by hunting a wild boar; sharp-tongued Nelly, who supports her family by selling live eels; and the peasant\u2019s daughter, Mogg, who gets a clever lesson in how to save a cow from a greedy landlord. There\u2019s also mud-slinging Barbary (and her noble victim); Jack, the compassionate half-wit; Alice, the singing shepherdess; and many more. With a deep appreciation for the period and a grand affection for both characters and audience, Laura Amy Schlitz creates twenty-two riveting portraits and linguistic gems equally suited to silent reading or performance. Illustrated with pen-and-ink drawings by Robert Byrd \u2014 inspired by the Munich-Nuremberg manuscript, an illuminated poem from thirteenth-century Germany \u2014 this witty, historically accurate, and utterly human collection forms an exquisite bridge to the people and places of medieval England.

‘The Newbery medalist (for ‘Good Masters! Sweet Ladies!’) Laura Amy Schlitz’s witty writing matches perfectly with the energetic watercolors by Brian Floca, who won the Caldecott Medal for ‘Locomotive.’ I dare you not to laugh at the pink-frocked reptile desperately trying to jump rope.’ <\/p>\n

\u2014The New York Times Book Review. <\/p>\n

\n \"\"\"\" <\/p>\n

‘An imaginative adventure story in a familiar, yet exotic landscape. Beautifully composed, the artwork combines subtle use of color with a keen observation of nature that’s reminiscent of Beatrix Potter’s work. This finely crafted and unusually dynamic fairy story is a natural for reading aloud.’ <\/p>\n

\u2014Booklist (starred review). <\/p>\n

\n \"\"\"\" <\/p>\n

‘Filled with lush language and delightful sensory details like the savored warmth of a velvet cloak, this marvelous story will keep readers absorbed throughout. While the intricate storytelling, captivating characters and evocative setting owe a great deal to Dickens, the book also feels very much in the tradition of such grand 20th-century writers as Joan Aiken and Elizabeth Goudge. Filled with heart-pounding and heart-rending moments, this delicious, glorious novel is the work of a master of children’s literature.’ <\/p>\n
