A castle, a feud, and a chapel of peace

Set around Adlerstein, a castle perched above a dangerous ford, Charlotte M. Yonge’s historical tale connects the fate of a burgher maid with that of twin barons. Their close bond is tested by separation after a battle, while a feud between rival barons shapes the story’s wider conflict. The resolution, as described in the publisher’s account, centers on the healing of that feud and the building of a chapel at the ford. This color edition also includes illustrations by Marguerite de Angeli.

Book overview

Through strange events, a little burgher maid becomes mistress of a castle of robber barons. This lonely castle of Adlerstein perched high on the rocks above a dangerous ford, is known as the eagle's eyrie. Here the twin barons are born and grow to manhood. The story tells of their love for each other, and of the separation of the brothers after the battle at the ford. How the feud between the rival barons is healed and a chapel of peace is built at the terrible ford, concludes one of the best known tales of Charlotte Yonge. Expressive illustrations by noted illustrator Marguerite de Angeli accompany the text.
