Historical fiction

Series: Alix of Wanthwaite

The first novel in the Alix of Wanthwaite series, by bestselling author Pamela Kaufman.

Eleven-year-old Alix is the daughter of the baron of Wanthwaite, whose lands along

the Scottish border are among the best in England. But when her family is killed

and her lands seized, Alix is forced to flee from the only home she's ever known.

Her one hope of restoring her inheritance is to plead her case to King Richard the

Lion Heart, who is far away in France, preparing to go on his Crusade. Alix resolves

to follow him. She cuts her hair, dresses as a boy, and takes the road south to London.

Disguised as a beautiful young boy, Alix is more than befriended by the handsome

and mysterious King Richard, even becoming his favorite page. Their relationship

sets tongues wagging and places Alix in considerable danger as the battle for Jerusalem

unfolds.

""Richly rewarding,

superbly written... The richness of the characters, the historical details, and

the story as a whole make this novel a memorable reading experience.""-Chicago Sun-Times

Reviews for Shield of Three Lions: A Novel

A lively romance... a rich picture of a romantic time... [Kaufman's] detailed descriptions of a bawdy land and its people are matched well by her touching and humorous portrait of an adolescent coming to terms with her own womanhood. --USA Today A romantic, sensual, ribald, rowdy--and often hilarious--tale. --Los Angeles Herald
