Ronald Welch, vlastním jménem Ronald Felton, je autorem dvanácti historických románů pro děti. Po studiu historie na Cambridgi vyučoval na Bedford Modern School a poté se stal ředitelem gymnázia Okehampton Grammar School v Devonu. Jeho zájem o vojenskou historii pramení z rodinné tradice a služby v pluku The Welch Regiment během druhé světové války. Welchovy příběhy jsou známé svým realistickým zobrazením minulosti a poutavým vyprávěním.



Roger Vadim directs this remake of his own 1956 film starring Rebecca de Mornay as a wilful woman determined to have a good time. After her exuberant and carefree nature lands her in jail, Robin Shea (de Mornay) is advised by the prison governor (Frank Langella) that marriage to a respectable man will win her freedom. She duly weds carpenter Billy Moran (Vincent Spano), a responsible family man who seems certain to have problems keeping his new bride in check. Robin sets about pursuing her dream of rock stardom with the accompanying reckless behaviour, but will Billy help her develop a new perspective on life?
This Carnegie Medal-winning classic tale tells the story of Philip d'Aubigny, the knight crusader. From his first battle against the mighty Saladin's army to a victorious crusade alongside Richard the Lionheart . . . it's a dangerous and thrilling life and one that is brought vividly to life through Ronald Welch's dramatic writing.
