About this book

A hat, cloak and beard turn a meeting at Bowling Green gate into a mischievous test of recognition. Dorothy lets John mistake her for a gentleman and enjoys his growing impatience as he waits for his sweetheart. This playful exchange gives Charles Major's historical romance its immediate appeal: affection appears through teasing dialogue, wounded pride and the small risks of disguise.

Set around Haddon Hall in Derbyshire during Elizabeth's reign, the novel is told by Malcolm Vernon, a relative of Sir George Vernon. Malcolm introduces himself through memories of the French court, his attachment to Mary Stuart and the political danger that forces him to flee Scotland. His personal recollections bring court affairs into the story of Dorothy and John.
