About This Item
Somerville, MA: Candlewick Press, 2023. 1st Edition Thus. Paperback. New. Byrd, Robert. 20TH PRINTING. Physical Info: 0.33" H x 9.06" L x 6.32" W (0.29 lbs) 96 pages. Features: Bibliography, Ikids, Illustrated, Price on Product - Canadian, Price on Product, Table of Contents, Excerpt. Initial Print Run: 20000. Target Age Group: 10 to 14. Secure ship w/track #. Newbery Medal Winner! Step back to an English village in 1255, where life plays out in dramatic vignettes illuminating twenty-two unforgettable characters.
Maidens, monks, and millers' sons -- in these pages, readers will meet them all. There's Hugo, the lord's 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's daughter, Mogg, who gets a clever lesson in how to save a cow from a greedy landlord. There's 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 -- inspired by the Munich-Nuremberg manuscript, an illuminated poem from thirteenth-century Germany -- this witty, historically accurate, and utterly human collection forms an exquisite bridge to the people and places of medieval England.
