Anne George grew up with a profound love of history and English literature. She spent her childhood devouring books. Yes, she was that child who had to be forbidden from borrowing any more books from the local library until she finished her homework (her mother was very grateful for the one-book-a-week policy enforced at the strict convent school she attended). Her love affair with words has persisted through the years. In addition, she developed a fascination with storytelling. In the course of her career as a professor of education for several years, her students often applauded the narrative storytelling in her lectures. She has finally indulged in her passion for storytelling by crafting a work of historical fiction. This book is a representation of stories that have been woven over several years of reading, imagining and storytelling.
