- Synopsis
- Something quite different in the way of an historical story, for this novel of two young people and their mid-summer travels in fourteenth century England, seems not to be set in the past at all. There is laughter and romance and adventure, and Anne's ways of getting around the unsuspecting Nick seem as modern as today. The author says that stories of this period are almost always too heavy and solemn —for it was the period of England's great comic poet, Chaucer. That is why Anne and Nick take their way through pages that are filled with amusing situations and lively conversations. The author has added as decoration, entertaining chapter heads and tail pieces in the style of the period. For older girls.
