About this listen
On a frosty morning sometime in the 14th century, in a village somewhere in England, a girl known only as Brat was sleeping in a dung heap.
"You, girl. Are you alive or dead?"
When she opened her eyes, she saw an important-looking woman with a sharp glance and a sharp nose and a wimple starched into sharp pleats. This woman was Jane the midwife, and she needed a helper....
The Midwife's Apprentice, by the author of Catherine, Called Birdy.
Thus begins the funny, wise, compassionate story of the homeless waif who became the midwife's apprentice - a person with a name and a place in the world.
This Newbery Honor-winning story, complete with an epilogue read by the author and an extensive author interview, conducted by a young "fan", will usher young listeners into the middle of the 14th century.
