In a sequence of four linked poems the four stories within the book shift in time recounting events in a small Staffordshire village, the poems carry with them the underlying link of untimely and violent death, the payment for the price of our imperfect humanity in an imperfect world.The village of Audley is a small parish situated in the North West of Staffordshire, edging on to the Cheshire border. The author and historian Robert Speake described it as ' An out of the way, quiet place' The poems address the ever-present spectre of Death who, residing at the parish bounds, readily accepts any invitation to visit, whether by the call of Lust, the pursuit of Power, the drive for Profit or the opportunity to renew acquaintance with his oldest friend Revenge. Illustrated by the author's linocut prints the book uses a terza rima narrative form to recount events ranging from the middle ages to the period of World War 1.
