About this title

Synopsis:

'The dialogue is witty, the characters are robust and the action headlong.  A terrific adventure!' - The Guardian 

'A rip-snorting, fast-moving, rollicking good time.' - The Times Educational Supplement 

In a little village in fourteenth century England, a bright young boy called Tom is restless.  Tired of studying and digging ditches, he dreams of noble crusades in far-off lands. Then one day he decides to slip away to freedom and a life of adventure.
