Reviews

Entertaining tale of the late Middle Ages.


(5 stars)

This is the story of Joseph, a teenager, and his family who flee from Ukraine to krakow in the 1400’s. They are befriended by an alchemist and his daughter. The story includes invading Tartars , a mystical crystal and a legendary trumpet call. The descriptions of krakow in the Middle Ages are interesting and the plot is engrossing. The readers all do a good job. (I found that adjusting the playback speed made listening easier.)

Nice story
