Synopsis

The Cloak is a medieval tale written in rhyme to be read to young children as a nice bed-time story. For young adults it is a tale about Justice and how it was meted out by Kings to his subjects of Lords, Ladies and Peasants. It has a villain, a hero, and a kindly King who resolves the dispute. It raises many questions of judicial advocacy which teachers and young adults could explore with the glossary and discussion topics included.
