Before you start reading this book

 

Just a NOTE

 

This is the second PETRONELLA book. The first is PETRONELLA AND THE TROGOT. It is not necessary to read the first book to understand this one, but it tells you more about the village and people of Fort Willow.

Petronella Chewnik and her husband Edmundus, also called the Hooded Horseman, have settled down to a quiet life in their Manor House in Fort Willow in the county of Westshire.

As mayor of the village, her husband is much loved by his people as is the Duke of Westshire: Duke Merrick. And things hum along nicely there thanks to these leaders gentle ways and kind characters.

Two years have gone by since The Strincas civilisation set up house again, in Fort Willow. They soon got used to the language and ways of present-day Fort Willow, especially the young people. They have left their medieval English and life behind.
