In the country near Portchester at the close of the seventeenth century, young Peregrine Oakshott is so odd and wilful that his own family half believe he is a changeling left by the fairies. The story follows him and his neighbour Anne through three seven-year periods of their lives, amid high treason, travels abroad and the politics of the later Stuart reigns.
