Title: Grand old classic of boy becoming man in the Age of Chivalry
Review: A wonderful story of life in the Middle Ages. A boy finds himself sent by his impoverished, blind father to a castle to serve as a squire. There he grows up, learns to become a knight, and begins to learn the reasons why his father had sent him there: to position him to challenge his father's enemy at the court of Henry IV and restore the family fortune and good name. A little romance even occurs for the lad. The style is a little quaint, as I believe this book was written at the end of the nineteenth century, but in the context of this tale of ancient times, it feels right anyway! A good tale for young men and women about the triumphs of right over wrong, and the importance of standing up for what you believe in. Great illustrations by the author.
