Thirteen-year-old Catherine Cabot Hall put ink to the first unblemished page of her diary on October 17, 1830, the day after her father returned from Boston with the diary tucked conspicuously under his arm. Catherine's mother had died of fever four years before, and now Catherine performed the duties of housewife and mother, living contentedly with her father and younger sister, Matty, on their New Hampshire farm. In spite of the daily hardships, Catherine had much to be thankful for, especially for Cassie, her dearest friend.

Robin soon enough learns what Brother Luke means. And when the great castle of Lindsay is in danger, it is Robin, who cannot mount a horse and ride to battle, who saves the townspeople and discovers there is more than one way to serve his king.

Character and history
The story encourages the building of character and is an excellent historical introduction to life in feudal England. It is complex enough for parents to listen along with children, Yet fast paced enough to hold the attention of young children.

Such a great story
This was a great story!!! I cannot stop listening to it. This is at least my tenth time. Audible picked a great reading for this story and I love the added music. Audible truly did a great job telling this story. I love listening to it because I was always engaged with the person speaking as much as the story. This is a very thought provoking story and they definitely chose a fantastic story teller. Thank you audible for choosing this reader and continuing to make me smile. I always will recommend this app.

This book was so encouraging. Little Robin was an inspiration. I loved how the Monks took care of him and taught him that whenever there is a WALL or a barrier standing in your way, your hope is the DOOR to help you get pass the wall, and where you need to go.

Loved the narrator and the book
I bought this audio book for Classical Conversations Challenge A. I loved the narrator, and the story was wonderful. It does start sad, but don't let that dissuade you, this is a great book. Roger Rees, the narrator, was wonderful, he did wonderful voices for the characters.

Wonderful on both accounts!
I remember reading this book in sixth grade and remembered enjoying it. I decided recently to re-read it and then I thought it would be even better to listen to it. I love this book! The story is engaging and the message for kids (and adults!) is truly wonderful. To top it off, Roger Rees's performance was impeccable and the audio recording was great quality. I enjoyed the addition of extra sounds and music to engage the listener and help with literary transitions. Both the story and performance are five stars!
