I understand that The Ramsay Scallop is a book, but am interested to know if it refers to anything real connected with a Ramsay - my surname is Ramsay.

Magnara,

in the book, it's 14 year Eleanor's last name.

I don't know if this is a "young person's" book (although I probably would have read this book as a teen), but "Strong as Death" by Sharan Newman involves her characters taking a pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela. It's the 4th book in the Catherin LeVendeur mystery series. I really like how she incorporates a lot of research into medieval Europe into a wonderful story.

Hi WolverineDG,

funny you should mention "Strong as Death" by Sharan Newman.

It happens to be one of my favorite Camino-related novels, incredible as it may sound, exactly for the reason you mentioned: how well "she (Newman) incorporates a lot of research into medieval Europe into a wonderful story."

It was through this novel that I got my first visualization as to how pilgrims may have traveled to Compostela during the Middle Ages.
