From Publishers Weekly

Even readers with little knowledge of (or interest in) British feudal systems and peasant revolts may find themselves engrossed in this unique fictional tale set in 1381 and told from a hunting dog's point of view. The canine enjoys a comfortable existence with her family of serfs until her master and mistress are abruptly arrested for attending revolutionary rallies. The hound turns hero: she manages to find a home for the pair's children, finds the couple en route to prison and brings them their baby's hat so they know their children are safe. Through the dog's eyes, readers get an objective view of various acts of evildoing?including the execution of Rufus, his master, and the villainous miller's unlawful usurping of Rufus's property?before the canine and her clan do what they can to restore justice. Branford's subtle, poetic writing ("We slipped away under the trees to look for wood mice. But there was a bad smell under the trees, a smell of sickness and sorrow and secrets") evokes both the splendor of nature and the turbulence of the times. The author's remarkable understanding of animal behavior and human tendencies reverberate throughout this eloquent historic tale and may well have readers considering what truly goes on in the mind of a dog. Ages 10-14.

From School Library Journal

Grade 6 UpAThe author's deep understanding of dogs is combined with an equally deep feeling for history to create a remarkable, touching story set in England during the fateful year of 1381. The narrator is an aging but still able farm dog, in her day the best hunter on four legs or two. Her humble owner, Rufus, and his wife Comfort are good to the dog and her pups, providing the "fire, bed, and bone" and the affection that keeps the animals from the wild forest life. The couple works assiduously at making their small holding of land prosper to build a better life for their children. However, times are cruel. Throughout the country unjust landlords press their tenants harshly. Charismatic reformers preach against the corruption, rebellious ideas spread, and eventually Rufus and Comfort are caught up in the Peasants' Revolt. When their involvement is discovered, life changes drastically for people and canines alike. The exciting plot, filled with hope, action, and tragedy, never hits a false note as related through the dog's sensibilities. Branford has produced an ingenious tour de force.AStarr E.

5.0étoiles sur 5 Finally! Some honest historical fiction for the YA reader., Avril 15 1999
Par Un client
Branford has crafted a powerful piece of historical fiction about fourteenth century England and has done so in a manner that honors the Young Adult audience's often ignored right to realistic, unromantic history. Her narrator, a wise, nameless hound is endearing but never cute. Through her eyes we witness the brutality and social upheaval of the late Middle Ages. This sage old dog, so unlike the traditional, overwrought animal narrator, provides a sense of detachment from events like the Wat Taylor rebellion that allows us to feel the peasant's righteousness as well as to cringe at their senseless mob violence. Above all, get ready to breath this one in. Fire, Bed & Bone is so splendidly redolent with the real, visceral scents of the age that you will inhale it as much as you read it.
