Crispin: The Cross of Lead by Avi Asta's son, a poor peasant in 14th Century England, was only 13 when his mother died and his whole world crumbled. His mourning was soon replaced by inexplicable terror when, it seemed, the whole world was suddenly determined to see him dead! On the advice of his priest, Crispin escaped from the only home he had ever known and ran into a world he had never known. With him, he carried his only possession, a cross of lead. Having no skills, no friends, no family, and no experience in finding food, Crispin's problems began to multiply. Why was Crispin being pursued? Who was the mysterious stranger he met in a deserted village? What
was the secret held in the cross of lead? ************************ The Kids Wings guide for Crispin The Cross of Lead is available in the Mountains and Valleys collection of 21 literature guides for award-winning books on CD for only $20 plus shipping.
