Fra
Mudest
The first in
a series of four books about the popular jolly friar. This was the
first publication by Merlin Library.
"Fra
Mudest has much in common with the simpletons of folk tales, such
as the Sicilian Giufa' and our own Gahan, but Casha tries to make
him a rather more likeable figure than his protoypes, without trying
hard enough...Casha's
prose has a colloquial brightness that will appeal to ten year olds."
