Raising Sir Gallant: The lessons that transformed a young farm boy into a knight.

2020 GOLD MEDAL AWARD from Illumination Book Awards. Middle Ages England. An act of kindness from the past induces a renowned knight to visit Bristol, where he offers to tutor Gallant, the son of a farmer. Designed for boys aged 8 to 12, this book encourages readers to walk alongside Gallant as he applies his newfound knight training toward overcoming a dark secret that has haunted his young life. More than an engaging story of virtue tinged by regret; Gallant's tale is a history lesson of early 16th century England, contrasting a typical commoner's home with the famous Thornbury Castle. By exploring the foods, clothing, work and pastimes of the people, the young readers benefit from a rare glimpse into the rustic life of the late Middle Ages - at a time when faith was cherished and strangers shared what little they had. Even adults are captivated by the story. "Beautifully done, it’s a masterpiece…made me forget everything else going on in my world…can’t wait to continue reading…Wow!" Dick M. (Grandfather)
