<p><strong><em>The good Kentish mead ran through my veins and deepened my dream of things past, present, and to come . . .</em></strong></p><p>John Ball encounters strangeness after strangeness, waking from his modern-day slumber . . . to find himself beside a quiet country road, garbed in an old-fashioned cloak, watching a horseback knight in armor passing by. He walks into a village where the buildings are all hand-fashioned -- with stone-dust from the building of the church still fresh upon the sward. He has been transported centuries into the past!</p><p>Also included in this volume is William Morris's classic, "A King's Lesson."</p>
