From life ploughing the fields to satisfy a greedy sulking landlord
to self-made men of the industrial revolution, from scratching a
living from a few scruffy acres to squandering a fortune of as many
whole farms, and from the Battlefield of Marston Moor to the Battle
of Berlin, this is the story of the people of a corner of England
over four hundred years. The plot pivots around one day in the year
of 1841, then focuses on the lives of a handful of people and their
descendants: Dull William, and his adventurous children who set
sail for foreign shores or settled for wealth here on earth or in
the afterlife; Sad Old Tom, and his brave children who battled
against a cruel dictator or even more cruel mother nature; Honest
John, and his wayward children who were haunted by their own inner
dark demons; Skilful George, and his unlucky children who loved or
lived at the wrong time; and Serious George, and the author's own
parents. This is a social history of a rural then urban community
as seen through the eyes of one family. Professor Phil Batman is a
retired pathologist who was born in York and has studied his own
iconic surname there for 30 years.
