The Minstrel's Tale

(4) YA Choosing music over her lecherous, aged fiancé, Judith--disguised as Jude--travels to the king's palace in Kent to train as a minstrel. Beset by thieves, amorous ladies, and jealous fellow apprentices, Judith finally finds happiness when she marries Robin, a former minstrel who has inherited his family's estate. Uneven pacing and a sudden, too-tidy resolution mar this otherwise engaging medieval tale.
