Teaching Ideas: |
This book should be included in a text set on the Middle Ages that includes Cushman's The Midwife's Apprentice and Catherine Called Birdy, Nikola-Lisa's Till Year's End, and Macauley's Castles. Pairing with Cushman's books offers the opportunity to compare gender and class differences in the Middle Ages.
