Ivanhoe: A Young Adult Retelling

Bys: Nevraumont, Edward and Scott, Walter

England is divided. King Richard is away on Crusade. Prince John circles the throne. Norman lords hold power, Saxon nobles cling to pride, and suspicion hangs over the whole country.

Into this uneasy world rides Ivanhoe, a knight returning home after war and exile. Though his father has cast him off, Ivanhoe remains loyal to the ideals of courage, honor, and justice. Around him swirl a vivid cast of allies and rivals: the proud Lady Rowena, the daring outlaw Locksley, the scheming Prince John, the ruthless Front-de-Boeuf, the dangerous Templar Brian de Bois-Guilbert, and the brilliant, tragic Rebecca. Ivanhoe also introduces the modern well known version of Robin Hood and his Merry Men

What follows is one of the great adventure stories in English literature: a tournament crackling with danger, hidden identities, kidnappings, sieges, divided loyalties, impossible choices, and a nation struggling to decide what kind of future it will have.

Warning: This book contains jousting, disguises, kidnappings, forest outlaws, family stubbornness, tournament injuries, castle sieges, and at least one villain making catastrophically bad life choices.
