The boat was coming along. They were making plates and utensils to use when they ate, and they all got along and were happy. They made use of everything around them to make things easier for themselves...

The boat was coming along. They were making plates and utensils to use when they ate, and they all got along and were happy. They made use of everything around them to make things easier for themselves...

It was now time to plan to get off the island until a boat passed them. They now knew who Richard was and they respected him. Until then, they would wait out the winter build their boat and be on alert if anyone came near the island. This was the plan until then.

The revealing of who Richard really is because Amos now trusted the men he had been on this island with...

Out on the open sea, they were tricked it was a crew of pirates who over took their ship and left them a small boat. None of the crew was harded or overthrown off the side of the boat. The whole crew managed to fit in as well as Amos and Richard. They managed to find land, and that's where they are now...

That's one of the longest stories Amos has told so far about 3 sisters wanting to live together until they realized they wanted to marry and have children but didn't want to leave eachother they wanted to live altogether. They wanted to find 3 brothers who were not married yet and ended up finding 3 princes. It cost them to be painted, but it was the only way to meet the queen to meet her 3 sons to marry them.

Finally I get through this chapter. I feel like this could have been 2 chapters. The beginning story the gypsy woman tells is creepy, but it sounds more of a tale with the woman in the story taking in kids because she could never have any was creepy. The next part is Amos and Richard making their travels by boat it was time to leave the land they have been in, and they had to leave the donkey behind.

A short chapter where Richard and the dog get taken because someone recognizes him from the drawing on a poster they had up in the town, though Richard died his hair black. Amos was able to find them and rescue them before the men came back. Richard agreed to stay with Amos so he is able to know who is around Richard because he actually cares for the boy...

Ok, now that was kinda creepy, another story from Amos. How the undead came back to life and how they all had seemed to come out of their graves on a creepy All Hollows Eve Night they came into the church where all the people in town were hiding out and staying. The towns people ended up burning the church down to protect themselves, but in the morning there was no evidence to be found that it even happened...

Oh man that was brutal it seemed like a big fight to the death literally with 2 men alive at the end and the big tyrant of a man dead at the end of the chapter. It was time to declare a winner as there was 2. I never read a scene so brutal of a battle as this. This is what is to come in the series of other books. I'm not sure. Definitely got my attention...

Always have a place to stay at the Inn she would make it happen...

Amos tells the story of a donkey that was getting old and not really moving anymore. The wizard in the story brings it back to life, and the man in the story is so happy that after this happens, he also marries a woman he likes. Much like Amos in the story falls for a woman at the Inn but doesn't marry her because it was now time for Amos and Richard to leave. As they start to leave, the woman reminds Amos they will

I thought it was just me with this chapter it was so slow nothing much happens with Amos and Richard all that happens is they are getting settled into an inn for the night with their animals as well before Amos' performance for the night.

This part is really slow it seems like a battle is happening in a tavern, and 2 groups are holding out on either with table forts at either end ready to go at each other. Nothing, but a beheading has happened so far...

A short novella on the series I want to start. It reminds me a lot of the beginning of Aladdin. The chase that Aladdin is attempting in the market place after stealing something. The same thing is happening in the beginning of these couple of pages. It has me pulled in already...

Another short chapter Amos is realizing how sheltered Richard has been all his life he now feels its his job to help him learn the things that he knows how to do with hunting and sewing and other things he can learn along the way, like using a sling. They soon meet a dog along the way they name bandit and make her their hunting pet as she helped in bringing out the animals from the bushes of the forests they walk...

That for sure was the shortest chapter in the book it was kinda funny trying wizards weed for the first time Richard thinks he's being poisoned as he freaks out. Amos thought he would have a different reaction than that...

Just when they reached the border, they were stopped to check their belongings, and the guard took the book, Amos was supposed to get to London. Now Amos wasn't so much concerned about the book as their safety. Amos was noticed as a minstrel and was asked to tell a story that was more like a rhyming short story about a man named Will and his donkey on a magical quest to find a magical seed to sow. Now they were safe.

A story Amos tells to the children a bee colony and how one little bee saves them from creating a war with humming birds. The lesson I took from this story is that it takes just one person to make a difference in the world whatever world they live in. The colony came together with the birds and stopped a war before it was ever fought. It had all been a misunderstanding, so they came together instead in celebration...

Now, this is interesting. The shortest chapter so far about them traveling to a chapel to make a stop and do a favor from a monk to get his illuminated manuscript from Florence to St. Paul's Cathedral in London. I liked the description of it you could see it like you were there...

This chapter was a little confusing it seems it's transitioning to the next part of the book Richard's History as a Prince, his real name Richard Plantagenet of Bordeaux. It gives a history on him and how he would come to be a Prince. How back then he would study and how he had 2 whipping boys he hated to see them punished for his doings. How he was always in clean clothes and now he was in dirty clothes...

He did accept her the way she was and wanted to join her he thought the fun they would have together as wolves, she agrees to change him but it the story doesn't say if he turned like she did or not...it ends in a cliffhanger...

There is a reason for it she is keeping a secret she has had for years she thinks this happened because she was like her mother as she gets biten by a wolf who she thinks may have been her mother all those years ago. When the sun goes down, she changes into a she wolf. She doesn't tell Alexander till after their wedding day because she was afraid he wouldn't accept it...

Wow, I liked that story. I could clearly see it as Amos tells this story to a bride. This was a story about a woman named Delia who gets married to a man she falls in love with, but she sleeps all through the morning. Her father doesn't like it that this happens, so he gives her grief for it he wants her to marry a man named Alexander, he says he may not like that you sleep in...

Richard decided to end Amos' story as Amos felt he didn't really have an end he was satisfied with so Richard ended it with a ball that was held for the princesses, and they would eventually marry and run a kingdom of their own. As they traveled on, they found a house an old woman lived in she invited them in Amos had been hurt after he tripped over a hole in the ground. She helped him get better as they traveled on.

I also really enjoyed this new story, Amos tells about 2 princesses that are kidnapped from the castle they live in and taken to a cave not to far from the castle and given to a troll to eat for their reward of bags of gold. They get near the entrance of the cave at one point, and the troll follows them, they try to escape but the men are captured by the troll and it turns to stone by the sun with them in hand...

It gets back to the story. Amos and Richard go fishing, and Richard shows him a different way to fish, but Richard says he likes Amos' way better after only catching a dozen fish. Richard asks him if he would ever like to be something else. He told him that he enjoyed being a minstrel, though he didn't have a home to go to at the end of the day. Richard started to notice a lot of people enjoyed his company...

The man meets the grown-up boy again after so many years and tells him he did use the sword again, but he didn't let it control him. He put it back where it was, but he was strong enough to use it only when he needed it...I think I'm liking the inner stories more right now. I feel like I'm right there when Amos tells them...

I liked this new tale the Minstrel told. It has a lesson to it don't let something overpower you and control you, really discern what's going on. The boy in the story he tells seems to be controlled by a sword he sees has all this power and the man in the story tells him don't let the sword control you, so one day he hides it deep in the forest but comes back after a time because he needed to use it to defend family.

This was a short chapter coming out of the previous one. Richard learns to sew his own cloak, and he asks Amos what his life was like before he met him. He had a wife and child, which were both taken by a plague that ran through the town they were living in back then... there was one thing he always wondered why he never got sick like they did...
