Description
<p> Amidst <br/>great mystery, Hugh is left in the care of Glastonbury Abbey by his <br/>father who must flee England too swiftly to be burdened by a crippled <br/>son. Ashamed of his physical weakness, yet possessed of a stout heart, <br/>Hugh finds that life at the abbey is surprisingly full in this year <br/>1171, in the turbulent days of King Henry II. Hugh, his friend Dickon <br/>and their strange friend, the mad Bleheris, uncover a treasure trove and<br/> with it a deeper mystery of the sort that could only occur in <br/>Glastonbury where Joseph of Arimithea was said to have lived out his <br/>last years. Before all is done, more is resolved than Hugh could ever <br/>have hoped.<br> A Newbery Honor winner.<br> Illustrated by Frederick Chapman.</p>
