1 y separately published work icon Mauler Shawn Williamson , Kirby Stephen : Hayloft , 2005 Z1255153 2005 single work novel historical fiction This novel is inspired by an actual event that took place in the Lake District in the 1800s. A mysterious creature, known to Cumbrians as the 'girt dog', escaped from a travelling menagerie and wreaked havoc in the Cumbrian fells. The novel travels from the murky depths of slavery and prize fighting in Georgian Whitehaven to the horror of the massacre of Aboriginal peoples in Tasmania. This is a tale of friendship, loyalty and honour. (Adapted from the publisher's website: http://www.hayloft.org.uk/mauler.html)
