Anson's Way Paperback – April 20, 2009

This book, Anson's Way is a well thought out and well written book that is realistic about a drummer in love who gets into dangerous battles. Will Anson leave the army, or ignore the thing he wants to do.

Gary Schmidt has done an amazing job of researching this rich and realistic novel. Everything down to the color of the soldiers' pants is correct. This book moves very fast and gives the reader an idea of the origins of the conflict between the English and the Irish. The story of the hedgemaster is truly inspiring. I could only give it five stars, but it deserves many more.
