Uillame is a shepherd who has not seen his father for many years. He's approached by a stranger in a brown cloak. Uillame offers the stranger his food and they begin to speak. During the discussion the stranger shares, "War never - never - never - never seems to stop happening!" The conversation continues and suddenly the stranger is gone.
Uillame decides that he cannot stay idle. He begins on his crusade, gathering children with him as he goes. They encounter monks who feed them, ship captains that want to sell them as slaves and a town of women who want to keep them as their own children.
The book was a quick read, less than a couple of hours. It reads like a fairy tale. However, I don't know that this is a book for young children. I'm thinking more middle school age.
