Contents

  • If you had been born 400 years ago, what would your life have been like? Cecily and Nicholas lived then, and this is an exciting story of how they discovered and unmasked a plot which would have ruined Nicholas's father. He was a wealthy wool merchant and was living on the Cotswolds in 1493. Cecily lived at Newbury. Nicholas went to school at the Parsonage, but liked better to slip away with Hal, the shepherd's son, to watch the flocks or help at the shearing, and it was in the fields that he got his first clue to what was going on. Lombard moneylenders were behind it, inveigling the merchants into debt, and smuggling shiploads of valuable wool out of the country. A cheery character is Nicholas's Uncle who had been a pirate but had reformed, and dreamed of racing Columbus to the Indies.
