Publisher's Synopsis
The year the pantomime came early by Francis Powell is a bone-chilling tale that takes the reader on an emotionally charged journey that follows a young prince throughout his childhood and into old age. The tale builds on the relationship between the main character Prince Stephen and his invisible companion you, the reader, as together their voyage through time exposes both of them to the frightening experiences of actual physical abuse to the ultimate treachery of one of Prince Stephen's sisters. The tale unfolds in historical times, but could easily have been related in times of today, if it were not for the modern day laws which are now prevailing. It has its climax set in a pantomime scenario as Prince Stephen now a king in his own right, comes to terms with the possibility of imprisonment for an alleged act to which he vehemently proclaims his innocence. If you decide to summon up all of your courage and spend your valuable time by choosing to read my book, then you will not be disappointed - but have a handkerchief to hand...there will be tears along the way - I would also be extremely obliged to receive your valued feedback.
