Praise
The sweeping story brilliantly blends historical details with adventure, utilizing a lovely lyrical text to tell the appealing tale, while Ridell’s illustrations elegantly conjure the coziness of a fire-lit hall and the vastness of a sweeping sea. An enchanting ode to stories and their power to educate and inspire.
—Booklist
Pushing back against the sticky false narratives of medieval peoples’ simplicity, cultural isolation, and technological ineptitude, Crossley-Holland depicts with bracing energy a gender-expansive and interconnected medieval world, invested in multiple types of art, literacy, and labor, and highlighting world travel.
