Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Strafford, Vol. 1 of 3: A Romance
IT was a hot bright day in the August of the year 1628 it was some time past the hour of noon, and the heat was at its highest, the white glare of the dusty road was almost as painful to the eye as the glowing sunlight above, and man and heast crept close into the shadows, grateful for any shelter, however bare, from the scorch ing rays that seemed to pour down in molten fire upon him. Seldom was heat so intense felt in a district of England so far north as Yorkshire. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
