Gr. 2^-3. With powerful simplicity, Avi tells the story of Roger Williams, the devout Puritan preacher who was driven from the Massachusetts Bay Colony in 1635 because he stood up for the separation of church and state. New readers will be caught by the drama of the court case and then by the historical adventure of Williams' escape into the wilderness, where he survives with the help of his Narraganset Indian friends and goes on to found the settlement of Providence, Rhode Island. Watling's glowing illustrations on every page create a strong sense of the period, though at times they almost overpower the spare text.
