In his first adventure alone after his father's death, young
William Walkingstick has stumbled upon a new world-a world of
bitties and hat towns, giants and faeries, woodsmen and enchanted
forests. His first acquaintance in this new land is a friendly
giant named Eril, who wears a most amazing hat. Upon Eril's hat
sits an elegant miniature town with little houses and shops,
cobblestone streets, and lampposts shining with pinpricks of light.
William is smitten with the tiny folk who live there, the bitties,
and dreams of someday earning his very own hat town. But adventure
comes William's way when the hat towns are stolen by Egad the
Terrible, and he finds himself caught up in a heart-stopping rescue
mission. Drawing from the quiet strength of a gentle giant,
inspired by the unassuming and sometimes rib-tickling spunk of a
lion-hearted bittie, and urged on by the determined faith of a
wayward faerie, William learns the meaning of true bravery and
realizes he has possessed it all along.
Aspects of the reign of King Henry re-examined, from royal
biography to administrative history. It is a testament to C. Warren
Hollister's ongoing influence that the reign of Henry I, until his
work on the period relatively neglected, is now a vibrant field of
inquiry - to which this collection, a special volume of the Haskins
Society Journal dedicated to his memory, makes a significant
contribution. Its distinguished contributors, many former Hollister
students, cover a wide range of areas: royal biography; political
history, including Church-Staterelations and relations with
neighbors such as Maine and Ireland as well as the English people
Henry ruled; administrative history, including fiscal management;
and prosopography, especially of the major developments in the
Anglo-Norman aristocracy under Henry's reign. This volume thus
continues and extends Hollister's scholarly legacy. Contributors:
