In the first adventure of the ‘Pagan Chronicles’, sixteen-year-old Pagan is assigned to work for Lord Roland de Bram, a Templar knight, in medieval Jerusalem. Set against a background of mounting tension as the Infidel army closes in on the city, Pagan’s Crusade traces the growing friendship between the knight and his orphaned squire.
This title is also available in the United States (Candlewick Press) and Germany (Carl Hanser Verlag).
‘Pagan . . . tells his adventures in chatty, modern English in a story full of pace and humour.’
The Observer
‘This book is a great, big, unholy delight . . . Jinks deftly interweaves the customs, clothing and food of medieval times with jokes, sharp caricatures and stench.’
The Australian
‘As a historical novel, Pagan’s Crusade is at once thoroughly ground-breaking and part of a solid tradition . . . Catherine Jinks has the capacity to overcome any current preconceptions
about the genre.’
