LibriVox recording of Cedric the Forester by Bernard Gay Marshall. Read in English by Lynette Caulkins A rollicking juvenile adventure tale, this historical adventure book received the Newbery Honor award in 1922. Set in England during the early 1200s, the scion of a Western Marches noble family relates the many encounters and battles that he faces with the Saxon yeoman who becomes his best friend.
