Quote:
On a November evening in 1812, Jethro Stanton, son of a Luddite and needle-pointer of Redditch town, stops at a remote wayside alehouse in Shropshire to find himself drawn into the life and fortunes of one Turpin Wright.
This irrepressible rogue, fleeing the gallows, is evading a troop of dragoons trying to recapture him. When Jethro comes to his rescue they both become outlaws . . .
The pair take to the road. Their way leads them through colourful rustic fairs and a chilling interlude ‘sin-eating’ for the dead in the Welsh hills, to alehouse brawls and, finally, the arms of the Recruiters — and the rough life of a reserve company of Grenadiers in lusty, bustling Portsmouth.
Among sailors and strumpets, vagabonds and cardsharps, officers and gentry, they meet Sarah Jenkins, there to try and free a French prisoner of war from the prison hulks in Portsmouth Sound.
Against a rumbustious background of England during the Napoleonic Wars, Jethro’s story is one filled with love and adventure.
