Title: One of the Best Books
Review: The author, Lloyd Alexander, is a winner of the Newbery Award for another children's book, The High King, but the Westmark series is my favorite. Time and history are conviently blurred to form the setting of an imaginary country remniscent of an 18th century revolution. Characters and character development are particuarly well done, focusing mostly on a rebellious printer's apprentice, an independent beggar girl and various noble street people. Swirled with peasant discontent and royal intrigue, Westmark is the beginning of three books that chronicle the country's revolution, the meaning of war, and of course a charming relationship between the young main characters. Without hesitation one of the best children's books I have ever read and sure to be loved by both boys and girls.
