Review: A Wonderful Story for Readers of Every Age - I first read this book as a child, more than once, and loved it then. I was tickled to see it listed on desertcart as available on Kindle, and have read it this evening in one sitting. From the vantage point of almost 60 years, I love and appreciate it even more now. The small illustrations throughout were sketched by the author, and are perfect accompaniments for the sweet, encouraging, tale of a time far back in history. A scholar as well as an author, Ms. De Angeli provides wonderful historical details while also telling an inspiring story of courage, personal growth and healing in the young character of Robin. Richly enhancing the story are themes of family and community, charity and bravery. All in all, a classic, delightful story that I plan to share with my children and grandchildren, reinforcing the belief that we can do hard things.
Review: Excellent book. - Purchased twenty of these for my team. Great quality and readability. Great story. "Always remember that," said the friar. "Thou hast only to follow the wall far enough and there will be a door in it." This book reminds us when we go through challenging times or are seeking something we haven't yet found, to keep going. Persevere, don't give up. You will find what you need eventually.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Dated but still worthwhile
*by S***A on October 28, 2017*

This 14th-century adventure book is surprisingly sweet and innocent, considering it includes scenes of battle, privation, and death. Originally published in 1949, and winner of a Newbery award, the story feels dated compared to books published more recently about medieval children's lives. It contains lots of factual tidbits about castles, transportation, monastic life, warfare, and other topics, carefully woven into the tale. A few of these seem anachronistic, such as the song Robin sings for the king - a song actually only a couple of hundred years old. But in fairness, more is known today about historical accuracy than was known seventy years ago. Robin is an appealing character, though he's at the far end of the curve in pushing himself to do tasks that are difficult or dangerous for him. The men who sometimes carry him and his crutches on their backs seem astoundingly strong, schlepping the ten-year-old up and down hills and stairs and towers without tiring; this I found somewhat unbelievable. But Brother Luke's mantra, "Thou hast only to follow the wall long enough and there will be a door in it," is as insightful and useful today as it was for Robin.
