About This Book
From the author of "Catherine, Called Birdy" comes another spellbinding
novel set in medieval England. The girl known only as Brat has no
family, no home, and no future until she meets Jane the Midwife and
becomes her apprentice. As she helps the sharp-tempered Jane deliver
babies, Brat-who renames herself Alyce-gains knowledge, confidence, and
the courage to want something from life: "A full belly, a contented
heart, and a place in this world." Medieval village life makes a lively
backdrop for the funny, poignant story of how Alyce gets what she wants.
A concluding note discusses midwifery past and present. A Newbery Medal
book (1996).
