The King's General - Softcover
September, 1653. The last of summer. The first chill winds of autumn. The sun no longer strikes my eastern window as I wake, but, turning laggard, does not top the hill before eight o’clock. A white mist hides the bay sometimes until noon, and hangs about the marshes too, leaving, when it lifts, a breath of cold air behind it. Because of this, the tall grass in the meadow never dries, but long past midday shimmers and glistens in the sun, the great drops of moisture hanging motionless upon the stems. I notice the tides more than I did once. They seem to make a pattern to the day. When the water drains from the marshes, and little by little the yellow sands appear, rippling and hard and firm, it seems to my foolish fancy, as I lie here, that I too go seaward with the tide, and all my old hidden dreams that I thought buried for all time are bare and naked to the day, just as the shells and the stones are on the sands.

Book Description Soft cover. Condition: Good. 1st Pan Edition. A brilliant re-creation of the love shared by Sir Richard Grenvile - at once the King's General in the West and the most detested office in his army - and Honor Harris of Lanrest, as brave as she was beautful, during the years when Cornwall echoed to the brisk tattoo of Royalist drums and the alien challenge of rebel bugles. Couple of slight creases to back cover. Browning to cover. Seller Inventory # 023123
