by Laura Amy Schlitz A series of portraits of the young inhabitants of a medieval village are showcased in this clever set of first person narratives. Each inhabitant shares something about his or her life and by the end of the book the young reader will have a pretty good idea of what life was like in the Middle Ages. Among the folks you'll meet are Taggot, the blacksmith's daughter, Otho, the miller's son, Drogo, the tanner's apprentice, and a shepherdess named Alice. Sandwiched in between the 22 narratives you'll discover fascinating information about the Crusades, falconry, the three-field system and the medieval pilgrimage. Here's a wonderful way to interest a youngster in history and what life for a young person was like in the Middle Ages. |
