Het is de tijd van Oliver Cromwell en dus slechte tijden voor de zoon van de vermoorde Charles I van Engeland en zijn aanhangers. De latere koning Charles II vindt een tijdelijk verblijf, incognito uiteraard, in kasteel Woodstock, waar een trouwe aanhanger van hem woont met zijn dochter. Met de nodige intriges raakt de verblijfplaats van Charles bekend aan Cromwell, maar hij weet te ontsnappen... I re-read Woodstock and found I'd quite forgotten how good it was. Full of ridiculous improbabilities, but how little that matters when a book has got atmosphere and gusto. - from a 25 May 1941 letter to Arthur Greeves, in The collected letters of C.S. Lewis, volume II nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

Woodstock, or The Cavalier. A Tale of the Year Sixteen Hundred and Fifty-one (1826) is a historical novel by Walter Scott. Set just after the English Civil War, it was inspired by the legend of the Good Devil of Woodstock, which in 1649 supposedly tormented parliamentary commissioners who had taken possession of a royal residence at Woodstock, Oxfordshire. The story deals with the escape of Charles II in 1652, during the Commonwealth, and his final triumphant entry into London on 29 May 1660. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
