Description:
Ever since he can remember, Robin, son of Sir John de Bureford, ì
has been told what is expected of him as the son of a nobleman. ì
He must learn the ways of knighthood. But Robin's destiny is ì
changed in one stroke: He falls ill and loses the use of his ì
legs. Fearing a plague, his servants abandon him and Robin is ì
left alone.
A monk named Brother Luke rescues Robin and takes him to the ì hospice of St. Mark's where he is taught woodcarving and--much ì harder--patience and strength. Says Brother Luke, "Thou hast only ì to follow the wall far enough and there will be a door in it."
Robin soon enough learns what Brother Luke means. And when the ì great castle of Lindsay is in danger, it is Robin, who cannot ì mount a horse and ride to battle, who saves the townspeople and ì discovers there is more than one way to serve his king.
