Door in the Wall Book Report

The title of my book is Door in the Wall, and the aurthor is Maguerite de Angeli. The main characters are Robin, son of Sir John de Bureford, Brother Luke, a kind monk who cares for Robin, John Go-in-the-Wynd, a minstral that helps Brother Luke and Robin. The setting is in London, England, and Linsey Castle--Middle Ages. The plot is Robin's father is sent to war and his mother to help the Queen. Tobin is taken to become a knight like his father, but falls ill, leaving his legs useless and himself weakened, left inthe care of a stiff old lady. The old lady falls ill with the plague, leaving him helpless. Then Brother Luke finds him and takes him to St. Mark's Hospice. There he learns to whittle and makes himself a pair of crutches. He gets a letter telling him to go to the Castle Linsey, accompanied by John Go-in-the-Wynd. There the Welsh attack and seige them. Robin sneaks out and sends a message to the army saying the castle was under attack. The army comes and beats the Welsh and Robin sees his father and mother again.
I love the story, action and characters. And I recommend it for every fantasy or history lover.---Philip Akins
