Master Skylark [SCM]
A delightful tale of a young boy with a voice like a skylark and the adventures he encounters when a touring actor kidnaps him and takes him to London. A living picture of England during the days of Queen Elizabeth and Shakespeare, with appearances by both. Enough plot twists to keep the interest of the whole family, yet innocent enough for the young ones. Uses time-period dialogue.
