(No more than 4 books per order/parcel allowed) - Did belong to a library before but book and wrapper survived quite well. >>> Excellent combination of historical details and an engaging plot (based in fact). The author's many drawings are a great addition that help the reader to understand the world and time. >>> Considering how important the wool trade was to the development of early-modern Britain, it is surprising how few novels deal with the business of wool. Those written for young readers are even scarcer. The Wool-Pack helps fill the gap. - This is historical fiction rather than history, written when children's literature was intended to inform as well as entertain. There are lessons on every page about how the wool trade functioned. To keep readers turning the pages, there is even a bit of mystery - Nicholas, the son of a wool merchant, suspects that traders will attempt to swindle his father. He sets out to verify his suspicions and prevent the theft if necessary. One of his companions is the son of a shepherd, introducing a different social class into the novel's ambitions. Adding yet another thread, Nicholas is betrothed at age 12 to the equally young daughter of another wool merchant, historically accurate but perhaps jarring to the under-12 readers of today. - Overall The Wool-Pack holds up quite well 60+ years after publication. Some of the captioned illustrations may feel clunky to readers who grew up with Dorling Kindersley. The novel is set in Britain and written for a British child, although that should not deter a resourceful reader. There are maps to help with locations. Because of the subject matter, adults can enjoy this chapter book and will find it a very quick read. As a book primarily for children, it will leave the adult reader wanting to learn a good bit more.
