4.0 out of 5 stars
Medeaval Thuggery and the Common Man,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Story of Ragged Robyn (Landmark Library) (Hardcover)
Generally , historical set pieces concern themselves with the upper classes , of one kind or another. Even in Golding's remarkable THE SPIRE , we get an architect and deacon as antagonists. In this piece written by a man most famous for his ghost/fantasy work, there is an incomparable evocation of a time and an ordinary fellow. He is trying to get from a box , and survive as an itinerant tradesman. This is a dark world that organized crime pursues him in becaause of his former associations. Very well done, and very unusual stuff. Only in parts of Reade's epic , THE CLOISTER AND THE HEARTH, do criminals and the masses do much interacting. This book is not in that league, but it is unique and very worthwhile.
