It's the start of a new series of headlong adventures for Tom and Ann - as they find themselves caught up in the chaos and bloodshed of the wars between England and France that scarred the fourteenth century. Tom is kidnapped, attacked by a cannibal, condemned to death, hunted by bandits and befriended by a giant. He also falls off a palace, down a well, and in love - oh! and he makes a total mess of the Pope's dinner!

Ann has an even harder time struggling with the beautiful but willful Lady Emily as they escape from marauders and monks and mighty magnates. They leave a tower by the lavatory and discover the entire English army drunk - including the King!

Tom, Ann and Emily's incredible adventures take place in a Medieval France that is vividly visualized and historically accurate.
