Excellent!

I've read and reread this book since I was about 12...I loved it as a kid and I still love it as a grown-up...very true-to-life story about Quakers' experience in England, with a 12 or 13-year-old boy as central figure. It goes through what he experiences, sees and realizes about people in English society and the role he an his family have in it. Very interesting read, very interesting details. It's also very short, and goes rather quickly. Good news...there is a sequel: Ride the West Wind.
