AbstractHistoryArchive Description

A christening party of shepherds and their ladies in the south of England is interrupted by three strangers, two of whom partake of the mead and food, and the third who runs away. The identities of hangman, escaping condemned man, and brother of the victim emerge only later. Set near Casterbridge. Shepherds's party and domestic scene well evolved. (PB)
