Picked this up at the 59th Annual Friends of the Library (of Hawaii) book sale. 1950 Newbery Medal winner.
Set in the England of Edward III (apparently 1327-1377), when there wasn't a "United Kingdom" yet.
Robin's father, Sir John de Bureford, goes off to the "Scottish wars", his mother, Lady Maud, is called to be a lady in waiting to the queen, and then Robin gets sick and is unable to walk. Pretty tough for a ten year old to deal with.
His condition gradually improves, and he journeys to the castle of his godfather, Sir Peter de Lindsay, where Robin must find a way to save everyone from the Welsh invaders.
I'd like to see an earlier edition of this book - I have a feeling the illustrations weren't reproduced as well as they could've been.
