- Synopsis
- Bryce Courtenay sets his tale in early-thirteenth-century Germany. The story of Sylvia Honeyeater, who sings like an angel and can literally charm the birds from the trees. Weaving elements of history and folklore, he shines a light on the Childrens Crusade of 1212. Medieval Europe is mired in poverty, ignorance, religious fervor, and intolerance. The Church, which pulls the political strings and controls the dissemination of knowledge, uses superstition and misinformation to fan the flames of fear and incite conflict.
