A nineteenth-century man falls asleep and finds himself in a Kentish village during the Peasants’ Revolt of 1381. He hears the hedge-priest John Ball preach fellowship at the village cross, watches the rebels fight off the knights at the township’s end, and sits through the night talking with Ball about what the centuries ahead will hold. The volume adds A King’s Lesson, a short tale of Matthias of Hungary.
