Reader's note

This colourful book is a brilliant 1955 edition of The Fourteenth of October by Bryher! The year is 1066 and the fiords, Harold Godwinson's levies, drawn chiefly for the peasants of England, are called to the King's standard. They come straggling and uncertain towards a vague rendezvous, some confident, some fanatical, some questioning and some plainly dubious: they are thinking of their harvest, left to be gathered by only a few. Under the spell of Bryher's writing the reader becomes a dweller in this troubled countryside, a sharer in its people's passions, concerned with the great issues that are to be settled finally at Hastings.
