Description

At the end of May 1381, England was on the brink of chaos. The plague had returned, the royal coffers were empty and a draconian poll tax was being widely evaded. Yet King Richard felt secure in his God-given right to reign.

But within two weeks, a vast force of common people invaded London, led by Walter Tyler and radical preacher John Ball, demanding freedom, equality and the complete uprooting of the Church and state. For three intense days, it looked as if they would sweep all before them. Now is the Time vividly portrays this pivotal moment in English history.

This gripping novel brings to life the epic struggle between the powerful and the apparently powerless, telling an archetypal tale that continues to resonate today.
