Falconsdale

by Howard Jones

Set in Norman occupied Britain, this gripping adventure tells of the revenge sought by Alan for the execution of his father and brother by overlord William Rufus.
From his native Falconsdale in the Lake District, rebel leader the 'Falcon' sends Alan to Winchester as a spy. His task is to discover the cruel Rufus's plans for quelling the Falson's rebellion against Norman tyranny.
How he achieves this under continual fear of discovery, how he escapes certain death time after time, his bravery in battle and his ultimate success, makes compelling reading. England in the late 11th century provides a grim but colourful backcloth.
