Singers, jugglers and players - the troubadours, jongleurs and acteurs of the Middle Ages - comprise The Entertainers in Book 3 of the Award-winning Pastimes Series. Tracing generations that began with the child, Ain of Poitiers, Frère Raoul - a young priest - celebrates his family in three stories that move the era towards its conclusion.
The Entertainers was written for young adults but it also holds a fascination for mature readers. Books One and Two won Florida NLAPW awards. Ain’s Song, Book 1, received a Eudora Welty Award for historical fiction.
