Black Robe, an account of the 17th-century encounter between the Huron and Iroquois the French called "Les Sauvages" and the French Jesuit missionaries the native people called "Blackrobes," is Brian Moore's most striking book.

Bored by the monotony of their humdrum barnyard lives, a trio of friends hop onto a bicycle seat for a series of madcap adventures with imprisoned geese, stranded cows and Red Sea pirates.
