Imagine if a 500 year old house could reveal its secrets? What if one of the oldest houses in Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk, England, finally told the stories of the people that lived in it? Their trials, tribulations, lives and deaths? Their struggles to survive the turbulent times Medieval life threw at them? How were they affected by, or even involved in, some of the monumental historical events that Bury St Edmunds experienced? In The Crown Post author and former resident of the house, has woven a compelling and fascinating tale that combines factual occurrences with the fictional characters who might have lived in the (real) house. Starting with its construction in 1485, through the Dissolution of Bury's magnificent Abbey, the bloody English Civil to the deadly Black Death and the infamous Witch trials, the house and its residents witnessed them all first hand. This compelling and entertaining novel of historical fiction weaves the house, and its occupants with the rich history of Bury St Edmunds. The book brings alive what it was like to live through one of the most exciting times in English history. Add in a touch of mediaeval witchcraft, which has terrible and tragic repercussions on any child born in the house and you have a captivating and absorbing read.
