Robin drew the coverlet close about his head and turned his face to the wall. He covered his ears and shut his eyes, for the sound was deafening. (from the first line)
| When Robin, the son of a nobleman, falls and loses the use of his legs, he is abandoned and left alone. A monk named Brother Luke rescues Robin and takes him to the hospice of St. Mark''s, where he is taught woodcarving and--much harder--patience and strength. Winner of the Lewis Carroll Shelf Award. |

From the Publisher:
The crippled son of a powerful nobleman in fourteenth-century England sets out to prove his courage and his right to be recognized by the King. |
"An enthralling and inspiring tale of triumph over handicap. Unusually beautiful illustrations, full of authentic detail, combine with the text to make life in England during the Middle Ages come alive."
