The Courtship of Morrice Buckler #358591

In the shadow of the Monmouth Rebellion, quiet scholar Morrice Buckler is torn from his books by a desperate message: his closest friend, Sir Julian Harnwood, lies in Bristol gaol and may hang within days. Armed with little more than loyalty, a borrowed pistol, and a mounting sense of fate, Morrice races across England through storms, suspicion, gambling hells, and dangerous encounters. What begins as a rescue becomes a tale of honour, love, intrigue, and rivalry, as a man made for study is forced into action. Rich in period atmosphere and swift-moving suspense, A. E. W. Mason’s The Courtship of Morrice Buckler blends historical adventure with romance in a vivid story of friendship tested by peril.
