Description
Sir Thomas Malory's life was one of politics and intrigue, but it ended in unexpected circumstances. In 1468, he was seized from his garden and taken to Newgate Prison, where he awaited execution. However, when the gaoler's son visited him, a young boy of about twelve winters, Malory saw an opportunity to recount his life story. As he began to speak, Malory revealed a perilously exciting life full of sieges, battles, and court intrigue. His confession was a tale of adventure and danger, of the complexities of royal politics and the consequences of one's actions. This is a gripping account of a life lived on the edge, where loyalty, honor, and survival were constantly at stake. With its vivid portrayal of 15th-century England, A Good Deliverance offers a compelling glimpse into a bygone era, where the lines between right and wrong were often blurred.
