description: In the year 1588 Queen Elizabeth I was assassinated. The Spanish Armada swept to victory over the English - and the whole course of world history was astonishingly changed.In the year 1968 we find ourselves in a green and pleasant England ruled by the Church of Rome. There has been no Waterloo, no Passchendaele or Belsen. There are trains and primitive semaphore systems, but no telephone, no television, no H-bomb. Catholicism and the Inquisition exert their repressive grip, but rebellion is brewing, for the forces of progress and science will no longer be restrained...Contents:- Prologue (1968)- The Lady Margaret (1966, variant of The Lady Anne)- The Signaller (1966)- Brother John (1966)- Lords and Ladies (1966)- The White Boat (1966)- Corfe Gate (1966)- Coda (1968)Cover illustration by David O'Connor
