The Old Woman From Friuli (For younger readers)

The Duke looks out from his castle, and everything he can see for miles and miles belongs to him. Everything, except one small strong house, with a small garden, two goats and a beehive.They belong to the old woman from Friuli.  The Duke wants that house, but the old woman, she won’t sell. She’s from Friuli, where all the really  stubborn people come from.

Review from The Book Bag

I loved this story.

… a clarion call to our daughters… Three cheers, I say!

BRAT:  Book One of Fantasy trilogy The Naming of Brook Storyteller

On her twelfth birthday Brat’s father disappears. She waits, but he never comes back. When she goes looking she is laughed at, and her belongings stolen. Reduced to begging and determined to find out what has happened to him, she is helped by Gray and Baylock, whom she quickly discovers are outlaws. There is far more to either of them than a brush with the law, and Brat finds that nothing is simple, nowhere is safe, and being reunited with her family must wait, as more pressing tasks fall into her path.
