The Star and the Sword

After their family and the rest of the Jews of Lymford are massacred, Benedict, 12, and his sister Elvira, 10, set out on foot for Oxford, hoping to start a new life. Their journey takes them through Sherwood Forest, where they meet Robin Hood, Friar Tuck, Will Scarlet, and all the rest - and embark on an adventure to help a Crusader knight rescue King Richard the Lionhearted. A suspenseful tale set amid the pageantry of medieval England, The Star and the Sword is an outstanding example of historical fiction for young readers, offering them an exciting introduction to Jewish life in the 12th century.
