title: Dream World
author: Swan, Sebastian; Mattches, David
description: “DREAM WORLD” is set in the few years immediately before and after 1066. William the Conqueror could never have imagined the impact that gruesome October day on Senlac ridge would have, not only on the establishing of the England we know, but debatably, the history of the world. This story puts flesh on the names and breath in the lungs of the people, etched into every English person’s psyche from school days. Jarl Magnus Matthewson, from Northumbria, having been plunged into the cauldron of history, is faced with the moral choices conflicting with loyalty, honour and friendship, and his concern for those who place their simple trust in him. “Live history with him.” ‘How can we humankind turn this noble work of God into such corruption? I gag at the charnel stench of the place; look at this mess before us. History will come with her needle and stitch the tapestry to hang upon the walls of time for all to see; though the pigment for her thread is this day’s bloody earth, time will fade the vision and man will be compelled to stain the cloth anew.’
