Publisher's summary

Amidsgreat mystery Hugh is left in the care of Glastonbury Abbey by his father, who must flee England too swiftly to be burdened by a crippled son. Ashamed of his physical weakness yet possessed of a stout heart, Hugh finds that life at the abbey is surprisingly full in this year 1171, in the turbulent days of King Henry II. Hugh; his friend, Dickon; and their strange friend, the mad Bleheris, uncover a treasure trove and with it a deeper mystery of the sort that could only occur in Glastonbury, where Joseph of Arimithea was said to have lived out his last years. Before all is done, more is resolved than Hugh could ever have hoped.

Excellent narrator for a wonderful story ...

We are making our way through World History again this year. There are so many great choices in literature, and this narrator does an excellent job with bringing this story to life. He also did The Hittite Warrior and was equally as impressive.

A Beautiful Adventure begins…

The narrator brings this well written historic novel to life! A delight to read and to listen to. Thus production set is on a journey of discovering (my 9 year old) and rediscovering (myself) the history of England, the tales of King Arthur, the Canterbury Tales and more… Reader beware the delights that awaits are contagious!

I would definetly not recommend to someone.

I really dont like this book and would not recommend it to anyone under 14 because it would be very boring for them
