Praise for "One Is One" and Barbara Leonie Picard
Shortlisted for the Carnegie Medal
"Her narratives have the ring of tales told by skald and bard, and her choice of words would fill great halls. Her literary fairy tales are lushly romantic, with poetic language and an almost other-worldly knowledge that informs and enriches them. Open one of her books and read it aloud. See how her words will still echo in the storytelling rooms and libraries that have become our great halls."Janice M. Del Negro
"In "One is One "there is a large cast of entirely credible characters and a good contrast is pointed between fourteenth-century courtly and monastic life. The strength of this book derives from its concern with important themesloneliness, loyalty, courage and love; above all, self-knowledge.""The Spectator"
"Miss Picard has been bold in choosing for her hero a weakling and a coward. The final resolution of Stephen's doubts, though not unexpected, is most beautifully handled.""The Times Literary Supplement"

Descripción Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. For ages 9-12. In fourteenth-century England, Stephen de Beauville dreams of becoming a knight-not a promising ambition for an artistic boy. Having fled a monastery, he becomes squire to a singularly wise knight, attains knighthood himself, and eventually takes on his own squire. When the youth dies, 26-year-old Stephen must re-examine his ambitions. By remembering the maxims of his mentor (Do not be afraid to do what you want to do; Be brave enough to be different), Stephen discovers where his ultimate happiness lies. Several of Barbara Leonie Picard's many books have been short-listed for the Carnegie Medal, Britain's oldest children's book award.
