Description
Eyam Plague Village by David Paul In September 1665, a devastating outbreak of plague swept through Eyam in Derbyshire, England. A consignment of cloth from London inadvertently carried the disease to the village, leading to one of the most tragic episodes in English history. This book tells the story of the villagers' courageous response to the crisis, as they chose to isolate themselves to prevent the spread of the disease. The author draws on historical records to recreate the events of that fateful period, using the perspectives of key individuals such as the local rector and his wife.
