We have only been able to find a partial dust jacket description for this book:

Three wandering minstrels and a lonely, lost . . . chivalrous friendship and care for . . . part of the household of  . . . the pursuit of the witch- . . . delivery from his hos- . . . but the main points of a . . . every girl will want to read.

. . . ound of Germany in . . . ersingers, is deftly . . . as well as youngsters . . . adventure of old Nurnberg . . ., by the sub-plot of the young artist who worked for Durer, his ambitions and his discoveries in engraving.

May McNeer (Mrs. Lynd Ward) was recognized at once as a writer of high literary merit with her first book, Prince Bantam. This second book grew out of many notes and much thoughtful observation and study while the Wards were living in Germany. They know the very forest, the very towns, where those exciting incidents take place.

While the "waif maid" Else, and her cat "Fraulein Bach", are most appealing, her three cavaliers, Hans, Werner and Melchior, each a wonderful invention as a probable medieveal character, are most memorable: with the wonderful Durer, they make an unforgettable group, worthy to stand beside such young people's favorites as The Three Musketeers, and the newer of the Robin Hood's Tales.
