    The Song of Roland

    Thanks to those who responded to my query about Charlemagne and his relationship to Roland (was Char father of Roland thru incest?) . I like being disabused of mistaken notions--esp appreciated Kathar1ina's point about birth dates, and David Tallan's info about the multiple Charlemagnes in...

    The Song of Roland

    Hi, David, I'm delighted you started this thread and wrote such a rich essay about the Song of Roland.

    Forum Book Club - Getting started, with book nominations

    HI, I'd like to recommend my own new book (2020), one of the very few English Camino kids' books--WALK: Jamie Bacon's Secret Mission on the Camino de Santiago. It's a history, mystery, and travel tale about the missteps, adventures, and heroism of an American boy who walks the Camino Francés...

    My first camino with (a) kid(s)--> need help!

    Inside Castle in Ponferrada?

    Thanks again, Sil, for this info. I was wondering about this because I want to write about it in my children's book, and I want to be accurate. It looks like I'm just going to have to make another trip to get it right. What a good excuse. Have a lovely weekend! Esther

    Best Camino Books (nonguide books, in English)

    I don't know if this counts, Rambler, but I became enchanted by reading the lengthy "Santiago de Compostela" chapter in James Michener's lengthy Iberia: Spanish Travels and Reflections (1968). My gosh, he passionately loved that country.

    Inside Castle in Ponferrada?

    Has anyone been inside the Templar castle in Ponferrada? I'm wondering what it's like. Could a child get lost in it for awhile?

    Looking for children's books on Camino

    Hello, I'm a new forum member and a writer. I completed my first pilgrimage to Santiago in Oct 2008. It would be great if more English-speaking kids from US, England, Canada, and elsewhere knew about the Camino. Do you know any children's books on the subject? I've started working on one and...
