This is Benson’s first published historical novel, covering
the long years of the reign of Elizabeth I. He conceived this project to
present in fictional form the story of the English Reformation from an
alternate point of view.
This Benson achieved without the use of the
stereotypes that characterized virtually all such productions in his day to the
detriment of both sides (Catholic and Protestant) of the question. Unlike
other editions of this work that are often abridged, ours contains the full
text of the 1904 first edition.

"An intriguing book" — L. R.
"Absolutely wonderful book." — Matt
"You will love this book. This is the first book I
have read by RH Benson and I have now ordered quite a few other books.
His writing is exquisite, but the pace of the story is its strength - I
could not put the book down." — William
