This tale takes place in Iscium, an isolated Roman village in Britain. Most of the town senators and officials are primarily concerned with keeping a low profile with the neighboring barbarians-with the exception of the crotchety old bishop. But when young Falx decides to run away to Rome and, instead, finds a lost barbarian girl, things begin to happen. The children are found by a merchant who returns them to Iscium. A zany mix of history, humor, and the miraculous-in the tradition of Don Camillo . Ages 14 and up
