Tod of the Fens is a 1928 children's historical fiction novel written by Elinor Whitney Field and illustrated by Warwick Goble. Set in Boston, England, in the early fifteenth century, it is a light-hearted adventure about Tod, a boy who lives with a band of men outside town, and Prince Hal, the heir to the throne, who disguises himself so he can move among the people incognito.[1][2] The novel was a Newbery Honor recipient in 1929.[3]
