St. Dunstan's Clock: A Story of 1666 is a historical novel written by E. Ward and first published in 1893. The story is set in London during the year 1666, a time when the city was still recovering from the Great Plague and preparing for the Great Fire. The main character, a young girl named Alice, lives with her family in a small house near St. Dunstan's Church. Alice is fascinated by the church's clock, which has a special significance to her family. However, when the clock is damaged, Alice's father is accused of the crime and imprisoned. Alice sets out to clear her father's name and uncover the true culprit. Along the way, she encounters a cast of characters including a wealthy merchant, a cunning thief, and a kind-hearted doctor. The novel offers a vivid portrayal of life in 17th century London, with its poverty, disease, and social inequality. It also explores themes of justice, loyalty, and family. St. Dunstan's Clock is a compelling historical novel that will transport readers back in time to a pivotal moment in English history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
