Gatty's Tale - Kevin Crossley-Holland - Audio Book

Gatty's Tale - Kevin Crossley-Holland : In the year 1203, nine companions set out on a great pilgrimage. The journey on foot, on horseback and by sea is fraught with danger. Not all of them will come home.

Among them is Gatty, whose whole life has been spent working in the fields. Bright, eager and resolute, with the singing voice of an angel, she is at the heart of this enthralling novel that sweeps across Europe towards Jerusalem. We come to know the pilgrims intimately their bickering, praying and joking, their fear and exhaustion, their loyalty and sacrifice as they face thieves and storms and precipices, a vicious attack and a heartbreaking bereavement.

It is a very beautiful novel extremely well adapted for this audio book explaining the medieval world and all that this word imply.
