Gallant squires and their knights journey home from the Third Crusade. Tournaments, sea battles, street fights and a cameo by evil Prince John. It's a wonderful listen for the ride to school with lots of period detail. My son had to struggle between listening and asking questions about the history. Somewhere Sir Walter Scott is nodding with approval.
