So excited that my newest middle grade book, The Green Children of Woolpit, is out in the world today!
If you’re curious about the original legend, I’ve collected a number of accounts and versions here.
The original stories were written by monks in Latin in medieval chronicles. I had each version translated into English so I wouldn’t rely on any specific version. If you’re curious about the translation process and its instability, have a looksee at the translator’s notes here.
If you’re a teacher, librarian, or other bookish person who’d like to use The Green Children of Woolpit in your classroom or book club, here are some questions, resources, and activities to get you started.
Happy reading!
