Book Description

Publication Date: October 2, 1984

Life has not been kind to medieval scholar Giles Fox. His inexplicable failure to win a Fellowship at King's, the unfortunate loss of two wives and now the onset of blindness, have merely sharpened his resolve to astound the world with his interpretation of the Pottle manuscript, a little-known thirteenth-century tract on virginity. But when Miss Agar, his academic helpmeet, impetuously proposes marriage, and when his daughter Tibba discovers the precocious, and quite unmedieval, charms of public schoolboy Piers Peverill, an intriguing new light is shed on Gile's investigation into the manuscript.
