A roads a kind of holy thing, said Roger the Minstrel to his son, Adam. Thats why its a good work to keep a road in repair, like giving alms to the poor or tending the sick. Its open to the sun and wind and rain. It brings all kinds of people and all parts of England together. And its home to a minstrel, even though he may happen to be sleeping in a castle. And Adam, though only eleven, was to remember his fathers words when his beloved dog, Nick, was stolen and Roger had disappeared and he found himself traveling alone along these same great roads, searching the fairs and market towns for his father and his dog. Here is a story of thirteenth-century England, so absorbing and lively that for all its authenticity it scarcely seems historical. Although crammed with odd facts and lore about that time when longen folke to goon on pilgrimages, its scraps of song and hymn and jongleurs tale of the period seem as newminted and fresh as the day they were devised, and Adam is a real boy inside his gay striped surcoat.
