Barbara Leonie Picard's Books

In early 14th-century England, young Alys de Renneville, unable to persuade any of her relatives that her father and brother are alive and being held for ransom in Scotland, determines to rescue them herself and, together with the fourteen-year-old servant boy Hugh, sets out on the perilous journey north.

A contemplative and sensitive young boy, seen by his family to be unfit for the life of a fourteenth century nobleman, is sent to a monastery but he is determined to prove himself worthy of nobility and capable of being a knight. Original.

For centuries, the Arthurian legends have fascinated and inspired countless writers, artists, and readers, many of whom first became acquainted with the story as youngsters. From the numerous retellings of Malory and versions of Tennyson for young people to the host of illustrated volumes to which the Arthurian Revival gave rise. From the Arthurian youth groups for boys (and eventually for girls) run by schools and churches to the school operas, theater pieces, and other entertainment for younger audiences; and from the Arthurian juvenile fiction sequences and series to the films and television shows featuring Arthurian characters, children have learned about the world of King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table.

The epics of the Trojan War and Ulysses' extraordinary journey are retold in prose
