Blurb:   When Walter, a young peasant boy, attacks his abusive stepfather in order to protect his sister, Elisabeth, the consequences leave him no choice but to flee, alone and penniless, into the unknown and dangerous world beyond Cottesham, his home village. He is a runaway, a masterless man, and can never return.

For the next 10 years Walter's travels take him throughout England and eventually to the Holy Land. Kind and courageous Walter makes friends easily, but fate is cruel and his life seems to be beset by sorrow and misfortune

My Review: Walter is a good guy trying to do the right thing but it seems fate is not on his side. One trial after another confronts him in this book.

While there seemed to be a little too much trouble for me within the book, I loved the historical aspect of it -- brilliantly told. This is a good one to pick up just for the history.
