Read by Lynette Caulkins

(4.5 stars; 20 reviews)

A rollicking juvenile adventure tale, this historical fiction book received the Newbery Honor award in 1922. Set in England during the early 1200s, the scion of a Western Marches noble family relates the many encounters and battles that he faces with the Saxon yeoman who becomes his fast friend. This yeoman, great of cross-bow skill and strategy, often saves the day, and after earning knighthood, becomes instrumental in the making of the Magna Carta. - Summary by Lynette Caulkins (5 hr 55 min)

knights of Old


(4.5 stars)

I enjoyed this book because it was just a simple tale told and a simple way but with enough twists and turn to keep me interested all the way through. The characters were well rounded and I don't think you'll be disappointed. The only reason why it didn't get five stars is because it was not in the line of a novel and fleshed out completely. But it was a complete story in its simplicity and characters.

Super Fun
