Great kid/teen adventure book!
I love this book, it is a classic adventure story. If you are lucky enough to find this book and read it you truly are blessed. Rob White is one of my most favorite authors. I also love his other books, my most favorite being Smuggler's Sloop and LION'S PAW. Great read - read this book! ... Read more

The Lost Baron isn't really worth reading...
A big reason I didn't like this book very much was because it didn't get good till the last 1 or 2 chapters.(Well, that's my opinion.)The rest of the book was just bland.

An enjoyable book
Having just finished and enjoyed another of French's novels, The Red Keep: A Story of Burgundy in 1165 (Adventure Library (Warsaw, N.D.).), I was only too happy to give this one a try as well. While perhaps not up to the same high standard as The Red Keep, this book is still an engrossing read. Enhanced with charming illustrations by Andrew Wyeth, the book presents a vivid portrait of the grit and gossip, danger and drudgery, loyalty and betrayal, superstition and heroism of life in medieval England. The story itself is engaging, and the characters of Martin and Rosamund are highly sympathetic. The spiritually-tortured Baron Basil is well drawn, as are the gruff warder, Topas and his dangerous mastiff, Lion.

This book is perfectly suited for parents to read with their children, though children over age 10 could easily handle it on their own. My only small criticism is that the surprise in the plot isn't all that surprising--a perceptive reader sees it coming a mile away. If you enjoy books like this one about knights in armor and the age of chivalry, then I heartily recommend Angels in Iron by Nicholas Prata.

Escape to a Castle Where Adventure Abounds
This is a delightful mystery/adventure set in a 13th century castle filled with mystery, intrigue, deceit and, of course, secret passages! Set in England under King John (of Robin Hood fame), the story is a quick read with well-developed characters and a healthy dose of intensity. Best for ages 12 and up (or as a read-aloud for younger children).

A Minor Book by a Major Writer
I've long enjoyed THE STORY OF ROLF AND THE VIKING BOW by Allen French.My first reading of that book was at the age of twelve, and I remembered it fondly.Re-reading it was a pleasure, even with the somewhat stilted language.THE RED KEEP was another pleasure, while somewhat less.This book, I'm afraid to say, is not French's best work, which still makes it better than most.The story moved too slowly for me, though it had a fine, brooding quality, and the characterization was excellent.A fine tale of intrigue and justice set in twelfth century England.I do hope that some of French's other work, including SIR MARROCK find their way back into print.Recommended to boys of all ages. ...

Excerpt: Howard Pyle Wyeth (April 22, 1944 March 27, 1996), also known as Howie Wyeth, was an American drummer and pianist. Wyeth is remembered for work with the saxophonist James Moody, the rockabilly singer Robert Gordon, the electric guitarist Link Wray, the rhythm and blues singer Don Covay, and the folk singer Christine Lavin. Most well known as a drummer for Bob Dylan, he was a member of the Wyeth family of American artists. N. C. Wyeth (1882-1945), Wyeth's grandfatherWyeth was born in Jersey City, New Jersey. His mother Caroline Pyle was interested in the Wyeth family, flirted with some of them, and married Nathaniel C. Wyeth. He had four brothers, John, David, N. Convers, and Andrew, and one sister, Caroline who died very young. A fifth brother, Newell died with his grandfather when their car stalled on a railroad crossing near their home and they were struck by a milk train. Wyeth married once, to Rona Morrow, and later divorced. Catherine Wheeler was his partner for seventeen years, from his mid-thirties on. The Wyeths are a family of visual artists and, earlier, illustrators who lived and worked together in Chadds Ford, Pennsylvania. Including the Hurds and the McCoys, at least eleven artists are among the family and in-laws. Wyeth was the namesake of his great-uncle Howard Pyle (18531911), the artist and illustrator for Harper's Weekly and the author of The Merry Adventures of Robin Hood and four volumes of children's stories about King Arthur. His grandfather N. C. Wyeth was a student of Howard Pyle and a prominent illustrator of children's books for Ch...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=9569412 ... Read more
