Book Summary

Varlets, Vermin, Simpletons, Saints--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, a beast whose tusks can "slice a man, groin to gorge."  There's sharp-tongued Nelly, who supports her family by catching and selling live eels, and the peasant's daughter, Mogg, whose downtrodden mother teaches her how to save the family cow from a greedy landlord.  There's also mud-slinging Barbary and her noble victim, Isobel; Giles, the talented beggar; Alice, the singing shepherdess; and more.

With a deep appreciation for the period and a grand affection for both her characters and her audience, Laura Amy Schlitz has created a series of riveting portraits.  Read silently or performed before an audience, the collective voices tell an unforgettable human story about what it took to survive in the Middle Ages.
