Our little Feudal cousin of long ago

By Laura Elizabeth Howe Richards

Journey to the gray stone towers and wild, misty moors of fourteenth-century Scotland alongside Alan Gordon, the "Little Master" of Morven Castle. In Our Little Feudal Cousin of Long Ago, readers follow Alan and his sister Elspat as they grow up in the rugged Lowlands, listening to the stirring ballads of minstrels and learning the traditions of their noble house.

When the legendary James of Douglas summons the Baron of Morven to a Border foray against the English, Alan's life of stories is suddenly thrust into the world of real-life heroes and peril. From the historic Battle of Otterbourne to a daring rescue mission within the shadow of Newcastle Tower, Alan must use his wits and even a local legend of a ghostly "White Maid" to save his father and prove himself a true Master of Morven.
