The seven stories in this book, all set in the southern counties of England, range in time form the first to the twentieth centuries. There is a ghost story in which the finding of a brooch leads a modern child into witnessing a Roman crime; there is a story of the Battle of Lewes, fought between Henry III and Simon de Montfort; and another telling of the terrifying adventures of a monk sent out from Lewes to gather taxes from a remote woodland village. All of them are first and foremost good stories, enrighed by a feeling for history and an eye for detail. Illustrated.
