Pigs Don't Fly by Mary Brown

Description: When her mother, a medieval village whore, dies, Summer is put out of her home so as not to become a 'burden on the parish.' With only a few coins for her dowry and a ring as relic of the father she never knew, the girl sets out to make her way in the world. The ring enables her to converse with animals, and as she travels she collects various strays, including a mongrel dog, a lost horse, a broken-winged messenger pigeon, a tortoise, and a strange, winged pig. She also rescues a blind and amnesiac knight. While searching for her charges' homes, Summer names and nurtures them and with them encounters good and bad people and a dangerous ghost.
