Men of Iron
by Howard Pyle. This is a very exciting book which takes place in France. You will enjoy reading about Myles Falworth as he strives to become a knight and avenge his father (the blind lord), an unjustly outlawed knight.
The Singing Tree
by Kate Seredy is the sequel to The Good Master. While I don't like it as much as The Good Master, it is still a good book. It takes place during WWI, and continues to follow Kate and Jancsi's life as they grow up together on the Hungarian plains.

That Girl of Pierre's
by Robert Davis is a great book for girls to read. I got it for my birthday, and have read it a few times since then. That Girl of Pierre's takes place in France, shortly after World War II, and is a book that you'll want to read over and over.
