5.0 out of 5 stars More Please, Ms Hamilton !!!, 17 Mar 2004
By Magicmoon (England) - See all my reviews
The third book in the Bone-Pedlar series sees all our previous heroes back in action once again. Whilst still looking for his beloved Janiva, Sir Richard Straccan (bone-pedlar and acquirer of relics) is required for his penance of killing William de Breos in sanctuary, to escort a large bell from London to Durham. Accompanied by a motley group of hangers-on and pilgrims, the journey is beset by problems and sabotage is suspected.
At the same time, Miles is escorting a mysterious small boy called David and a glee-maiden or singer called Sorrow to safety from France to Scotland. Pursued by three murderous French knights, their journey too, is frought with danger.
To add to the mayhem, Larktwist is up to his usual spying tricks and uncovers a kidnapping plot against the Queen Isabel.

How all the various strands of plot-lines come together is a tribute to Ms Hamilton's marvellous skill as an author. Quirky, confident, witty, with wonderfully engaging characters whose world is full of magic, superstition and ghosts, the Glee-maiden is a truly original read. Highly recommended !!!
