In this medieval story, young Robin falls ill and loses the power of moving both his legs. With his father in the army and his mother called to serve the queen, he is left alone with a few servants. Then, when the servants catch the Plague, Brother Luke comes and takes Robin to the hospice, where Robin learns useful skills, while at the same time learning patience. Sir Peter summons Robin to the castle, so Robin, Brother Luke and John-in-the-Wynd set out. After having several adventures, they arrive at the castle and Robin finds his “door in the wall” when the castle is besieged by a Welsh army.
Pretty good book! You can learn more about medieval times and also have adventure along the way!
