Summary: Thirteen-year-old Arnold Hutton wanted to go to college. How could he go without money? He had to earn his living some way. Should he work in the fields or beg for the church? In Oxford, young Arnold Hutton hears John Wycliffe teach and is inspired by Wycliffe’s ideas that everyone should be able to read the bible, even those who can’t read Latin. But Wycliffe’s enemies are gathering evidence against him. Join Arnold, Timothy, and Lucy as they uncover the plot against Wycliffe and help to entrust the holy Bible into the hands of the beggars.

This is a really nice children's book. Very interesting and captivating. The story is told from a fictional boy's perspective. Louise A. Vernon is a very good writer and storyteller.
