Preview Fire on the Wind
Description:
Their first meeting was an argument, but when a small fire, fanned by
wind becomes an inferno, Hugh and Sarah become firm friends as they try
to escape the flames by boat.
This is one of Geoffrey Trease's last books, written in his eighties, but he is as good as ever. Reading it is a pleasant and painless way to learn history, because he builds famous events around a story of young people with whom children can easily identify. The central character is a boy who, like his creator, is fascinated by books and printing (vast numbers of rare books were lost in the Great Fire of London), but who is persecuted by his employer. There is a spirited heroine and a detailed description of how people lived after the defeat of the English Revolution. All this and the river Thames and the Great Fire too.
