If All the Swords in England

Product Description

Perhaps his impatience made him careless, too eager to cross and be away. He found the place he thought would do and set Violante to the jump. The horse refused. Edmund tried again, and again Violante would not budge. Edmund gritted his teeth. He had to cross the river and get to Canterbury somehow... It is the year 1170. The long-standing battle of wills between Archbishop Thomas Becket and King Henry II has come to a climax. The twins Edmund and Simon, one in the service of the Archbishop and the other a page of the King, witness the dramatic events leading up to the infamous cathedral slaying. Ages 10 and up.
