Dickon is down by the waterfront near his grandfather's warehouse when he sees a young fishmonger being chased by three older and bigger mercer apprentices. Coming to the aid of the boy, Dickon fights with the three bullies and drives them away. For his part, Dickon looks forward to being apprenticed to the Grocer's Company. Grocer apprentices and mercer apprentices are sworn foes.

His is distraught both that he will not be a grocer like his brother and grandfather and that he will be in the sale guild as the three ruffians who have just become his enemies.

His attempts to protect the innocent only serve to get him into deeper trouble. Cynthia Harnett has created a vivid picture of life in London in 1415, a turbulent time in which Henry V was battling unrest at home and struggling to secure the French throne. Grades 5-8
