Review: great living book - Only half way through but its engaging and informative. Perfect for a Charlotte Mason school
Review: A classic historical novel for children - Adam is an apprentice minstrel, traveling around England with his father and his beloved dog, entertaining at inns and at homes for the wealthy. But when Adam accidentally gets separated from both his father and his dog, he has to set off on a long adventure on his own to find them, and in the process meets people of all ranks in society, most of them kindly and generous, but also including a few thieves and bandits. Grey Vining researched the history, society, songs, poems and English-language idioms of the time, as well as the occasional phrase of Latin that a boy with a few years of schooling might know. Kids will have to do a little work with the dictionary, but for a "hero's journey" story about someone roughly their own age, it should be rewarding.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Happy find of a favorite book of childhood.
*by A***R on May 22, 2016*

Happy to find this book, one of my favorites from my childhood. I read it out loud to my adult daughter as we accomplished a long drive from the northern edge of the U.S. to the southern. She was impressed by the development of the story and the fleshing out of the characters. The author also did a wonderful job of bringing this period to life.
