 Rated 10/10
the classic story cycle set in a vision of the england that developed after queen elizabeth's assassination, and the reclaiming of the country for roman catholicism (and himself) by philip II, widower of queen mary, with sword and arquebus, crossbow and cannon ruling the european battlefield, horse, pack-horse and horse-and-cart or ox-cart transport on the rutted, muddy roads of england - though the steam-powered traction engine is beginning to make an impact; and telecommunications provided somewhat uncertainly - and only for the few - by carrier-pigeon and a limited coverage of semaphore stations, some set really isolated in the wilds, and their dedicated service of signallers.

a gem - or a bejewelled bracelet of small gems - of quietly beautiful storytelling, with adventure as well as vision - and a delicate touch.

 does not include "the white boat". keith was inconsistent° as to whether the collection should or should not include this - or the prologue, and/or the coda, for that matter - upon occasion. . .

° - as he was in and upon many things...
