She finds refuge in a Victorian dollhouse and becomes a foster mother to a set of tin soldiers. I won't go further into the outcome for fear of spoilers! Even though the setting is more Victorian than medieval, its theme of gallantry and chivalry seems to tie it to medieval times... plus, I just love the story and have happy memories of reading it to my kids.Willahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17374272000644968446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8836262699520893805.post-54388606851784333812012-09-09T15:12:49.993-07:002012-09-09T15:12:49.993-07:00Oh I need to get copies of the Brother Joseph book...Oh I need to get copies of the Brother Joseph book and the Giotto book.

We're studying the Middle Ages (along with your plans) so I'm taking your list of picture books to the library with me on Monday.
