Oh, this takes me back to Jr. High days! The story of a young boy separated from his juggler father and the ensuing search for family and daily protection and food, were and introduction to life in the Middle Ages. It was a delight to read 60 years ago.

Fantastic story of a boy & his adventures set in the Middle Ages. My girls loved it as a read-aloud, & I'm sure boys would like it even better. It's one of my family's all time favorite read-aloud books!

This is an interesting story for young, and old, boys. It takes place in 13th century England and gives you a good idea of how people lived back then, using the story of a young boy's travels across England to teach that history.

This is also a Newberry Award book.
