Description

Angeline can hardly bear the blistering heat, the noise, the sea of faces crowding in upon her in the teeming Egyptian market. Only a short time ago she left her small village in France to follow Stephen, a shepherd boy mounting a children’s Crusade to the Holy Land. She cannot believe she is now being sold as a slave to one of the great princes of Egypt.

Angeline vividly recreates medieval Cairo, a rich and cultured city where Muslims, Christians and Jews live peacefully side by side. Karleen Bradford’s return to the Crusades is a moving, colourful tale with a spirited heroine at its heart.

She was born in Toronto, Ontario, but spent most of her childhood years in Argentina. She returned to Canada to take a B.A. at the University of Toronto in 1959, and married James Bradford, a Foreign Service Officer with the Canadian Government. Until 1992, Karleen and her family travelled and lived in Colombia, the United States, England, the Philippines, Brazil, Germany and Puerto Rico, with two home postings in Canada. Settings for many of her books have come from these countries. She now lives back in Canada in Owen Sound, Ontario. Three children, four grandchildren, and assorted granddogs live nearby.

Karleen has taught Creative Writing and Writing for Children at Algonquin College, the Adult High School, and various community centres in Ottawa.

In 1999 she worked with students in the Taipei American School in Taiwan.

She has worked in schools across Canada through The Writers' Union of Canada and the Ontario Arts Council programs for writers in the schools and has, as well, participated in numerous Canada Council Readings programs. She toured Nova Scotia in 1984, New Brunswick in 1989, Quèbec in 1998, and Manitoba in 2005 for the TD Children's Book Week, and has worked as a Writer in Residence for the WIER (Writers in Electronic Residence) program in schools across Canada.
