Junipero Serra and The California Missons
I enjoyed reading this book. It was easy to read and understand. It is a great resource to use in the classroom. The book contains a lot of information regarding Father Serra. It is written in a form that provides just enough information for the average fourth or fifth grade student.

Father Junipero Serra and the California Missions
I thought this book was good because it offers very good information about Father Serra, and it's easy for children to read. There are not many books on Father Serra, I only found a few but they were too long for young children to read. I was very interested while reading the book, and I enjoyed it. ... Read more

Product Description
Thomas Hoccleve was a scribe in royal service from ca. 1386 to 1426, as well as a 'Chaucerian' poet who has attracted much interest, especially for his autobiographical poems. This facsimile reproduces three manuscripts containing all of his known poetry except his Regiment of Princes (of which no autograph copy survives). It provides a rare opportunity to see how a medieval English poet presented his own work in copies which he made himself, meticulously spelled and metred. Although these manuscripts have attracted much scholarly attention, only a few pages have been previously reproduced in published studies. The Introduction includes the first full description of the contents and structure of the three volumes, with discussions of the author's handwriting, use of abbreviations and punctuations based on advances in palaeographical study and historical knowledge of Hoccleve's context. ...
