Summary: Well-researched historical kids book
Comment: I was attracted to The Wool Pack after reading Cynthia's earlier work - The Writing on the Hearth. The Wool Pack is the fourth book in a series that stretches from the Battle of Agincourt in 1415 through to the evnts described in the Wool Pack. Cynthia has researched his books extremely well, and by reading these delightful stories we can get an idea of what life was like in the 15th century. Is Cynthia Harnett still alive?

Summary: delightful
Comment: This is a charming story about the Middle Ages. It portrays the life of a young boy in a fairly well to do merchant family. We are given insights into such diverse subjects as arranged marriages and the catching of fleas. The style is simple and clear and the characters are believable. If the plot is not fast and thunderous, it is still interesting. Well worth reading.

Summary: Very enjoyable
Comment: The simpleness and clarity of the writing style makes this book a fun read as well as an educational one. I found myself learning about daily life in the era even as I enjoyed following the character's way through it. Nice bit of action, too.
