The
Wool-Pack
Cynthia Harnett Mammoth Books, 2001 (first published in 1951) Paperback. 238pp. £4.99 to order
Can they uncover the smuggling ring and outwit the plot to ruin Nicholas' father? One of the classic medieval adventures, The Wool-Pack was voted one of the 100 best children's books of the twentieth century in the Keith Barker Millennium Awards; it was a winner of the Carnegie Medal. Cynthia Harnett paid great attention to research and detail, and seemed keen to educate her young readers. This didactic approach was, however, offset by her lively dialogue and the fast moving action of the plot. |

Nicholas
knows that
there is something suspicious about the smooth Italian lord and his
toad-faced servant who come to stay. His father won't hear anything
of it, and so Nicholas and his friends must try to discover the Lombards'
secret alone.
