The Wool-Pack is a children's historical novel written and illustrated by Cynthia Harnett, published by Methuen in 1951.
She won the annual Carnegie Medal from the Library Association, recognising it as the year's best children's book by a British subject.
[3] G. P. Putnam's Sons published the first U.S. edition in 1953, entitled Nicholas and the Wool-Pack: an adventure story of the Middle Ages, an inaccurate title as it is based in the time of Henry Tudor.
[5] The Wool Pack was adapted by the BBC as a 90-minute film entitled A Stranger on the Hills, televised in 1970 as a three-part series for children.
It starred Raymond Millross as Nicholas Fetterlock, with Godfrey Quigley and Thelma Barlow as his parents.
