Adam of the Road

Eleven-year-old Adam loves to travel the open roads of thirteenth-century England with his father, a wandering minstrel, and his red spaniel, Nick. But when his father disappears and Nick is stolen, Adam finds himself alone, searching roads filled with rich merchants, pilgrims, farming folk, minstrels and priests, saints and thieves—and somewhere in the crowd, his father and his dog.
