Description

A man walks through the country—from village to village, from house to house—knocking on the doors of the poor. He carries a heavy sack full of stones. Each stone is a memory of some grievance inflicted by lords upon common people. This is Walter Tyler, the son of a roofer, who becomes the leader of the uprising of English peasants at the end of the 14th century. If Wat Tyler is the power of the people, then his soul is Jack Straw—the main character of the novella. About his short life, about his difficult love, about his everyday struggle, and about his heroic death, this book will tell you, kids.
