Excerpt from Hither and Yon by Land and Sea I shall have to give only a rough and sketchy account of this voyage for many reasons. In the first place, much of it had to be hastily written without books, and in the next a so-called round trip is something like a tramp, the pauses being many but brief, and therefore superficial in the impressions they produce. But superficial impressions are often very vivid, and are etched very sharply into the memory, so I may hope to give you a few interesting pictures from the many that I collected. I have told you in previous travel-papers of the solemn dignity of Egypt, of the barbaric splendors of India, of the wonderful picturesqueness of Japan, of the tropical luxuriance of Mexico and the decaying glories of Spain.

From the critically acclaimed New York Times bestselling author Sharon Kay Penman comes the story of the reign of King Baldwin IV and the Kingdom of Jerusalem's defense against Saladin's famous army. The Kingdom of Jerusalem, also known as Outremer, is the land far beyond the sea. Baptized in blood when the men of the First Crusade captured Jerusalem from the Saracens in the early twelfth century, the kingdom defined an utterly new world, a land of blazing heat and a medley of cultures, a place where enemies were neighbors and neighbors became enemies. At the helm of this growing kingdom sits young Baldwin IV, an intelligent and courageous boy committed to the welfare and protection of his people. But despite Baldwin's dedication to his land, he is afflicted with leprosy at an early age and the threats against his power and his health nearly outweigh the risk of battle. As political deception scours the halls of the royal court, the Muslim army--led by the first sultan of Egypt and Syria, Saladin--is never far from the kingdom's doorstep, and there are only a handful Baldwin can trust, including the archbishop William of Tyre and Lord Balian d'Ibelin, a charismatic leader who has been one of the few able to maintain the peace. Filled with drama and battle, tragedy and romance, Sharon Kay Penman's latest novel brings a definitive period of history vividly alive with a tale of power and glory that will resonate with readers today.
