The missing fossil mystery Book

Roger and Alice are still waiting for their father to return from the Crusades, even though the war ended three years ago. When their mother falls sick with a fever, she begs her children to find her brother, who will surely help them.

Lutes and lyrics. Tree-climbing and towers. Ruffians and ransom. Uncles and heirs. A neatly-written short story that gives a glimpse of medieval life. Alice's tomboyish ways and outspokenness are endearing, and her older brother Roger's carefulness and cleverness are equally winsome. Their cooperation and courage bring about a happy ending.

Beautifully illustrated!
