Crispin The Cross Of Lead
Turtleback edition in good condition. Small bite marks lower left corner back board. Full number line starting with 1. Crispin series #1
“I found it a marvel that I could see so much of the world, yet find it much the same.”
“Asta’s Son” is all he’s ever been called. The lack of a name is appropriate, because he and his mother are poor peasants in 14th century medieval England. But this thirteen-year-old boy who thought he had little to lose soon finds himself with even less—no home, no family, or possessions. Accused of a crime he did not commit, he may be killed on sight, by anyone. If he wishes to remain alive, he must flee his tiny village. All the boy takes with him is a newly revealed name—Crispin—and his mother’s cross of lead.
