Set in France in the flowering of the Middle Ages, "Medieval
Summer" takes the reader back to a time of castles, monasteries,
knighthood and chivalry. This is story telling in an old tradition.
Born into serfdom, a young boy, Robert suffers a freak accident,
which takes him away from his village near the Castle of Muriac and
places him in the care of the Abbot of St. Michel. Growing up in
the monastery, Robert shows unusual aptitude for learning and
becomes the tutor for the visiting sons of the nobility. In time,
he returns to the castle of his lord, the Viscount of Muriac to
tutor his daughter, Isabella and his young second wife Blanche.
When the viscount becomes jealous of the growing friendship between
Robert and the young women, Robert is forced to flee for his life.
A perilous journey leads him through the wilds of Perigord, to the
sea and then to Flanders to seek his fortune. The time comes when
he must return to Perigord. Here waits his implacable enemy the
viscount and the women Isabella and Blanche. "Medieval Summer" is a
novel of high adventure and romance that will intrigue both young
