The Lion and the Lily

About the Book

This book is a story of murder, love, and revenge set in the early 1400s when the Lollard heresy, which believed the Bible should be read in English so that all could hear the Word of God without reinterpretation from the clergy, was being persecuted and innocent victims were burned at the stake. All this is recounted against the background of the Hundred Years War between England and France and the climactic Battle of Agincourt.

Interested in all periods of history, rugby, and fine dining, he is now partially retired and able to devote more time to his true interests, which are writing and helping his wife, Jennifer, to manage the four-acre plot of land that surrounds their two-hundred-year-old house. Three dogs and two cats ensure that there is never a moment wasted.
