Angeline

Angeline can hardly bear the blistering heat, the noise, the seaof faces crowding in upon her in the teeming Egyptian market. Only a short timeago she left her small village in France to follow Stephen, a shepherd boymounting a children's Crusade to the Holy Land. She cannot believe she is nowbeing sold as a slave to one of the great princes of Egypt.

Angeline vividly recreates medieval Cairo, a rich andcultured city where Muslims, Christians and Jews live peacefully side by side.Karleen Bradford's return to the Crusades is a moving, colourful tale with aspirited heroine at its heart.
