(Crake was the author of a long series of historical ficti...)
Crake was the author of a long series of historical fiction works, about the church in Britain, using Oxfordshire and Berkshire settings; they were based on stories he had told at Bloxham school. In 1873 he published a popular History of the Church under the Roman Empire. England just after 1000 A.D. teeters on the brink of survival, struggling in the aftermath of repeated invasions and assimilating former enemies as new neighbors. Alfgar, descended from Danish invaders on one side and English farmers on the other, faces a personal struggle to lead a moral life while corrupt officials fan old resentments and disguise personal ambition with holy rhetoric. His love and faith pit him against powerful enemies, including his own father, and lead him on a course of adventure alongside the English king. But can Alfgar and his allies understand the treachery within their own ranks before it costs Alfgar his love and England its freedom?

Author humbly ventures to offer the ninth of his series of original tales, illustrating Church History, to the public ;encouraged by the favourable reception the previous volumes have found, In the tales, i Emilius, Evanus, and The Camp on the Severn, he has endeavoured to describe the epoch of the Pagan persecutions, under the Roman Empire ;in the Three Chronicles of scendune, successive epochs of Early English history ;in the A ndredsweald, the Norman Conquest; in Fairleigh Hall, the Great Rebellion; and in the present volume, one of the earliest of the series of events ordinarily grouped under the general phrase The Reformation, the destruction of the Monasteries. It is many years since the writer was first attracted and yet saddened by the tragical story of the fate of the last Abbot of Glastonbury, and amongst the tales by which he was wont to enliven the Sunday evenings in a large School, this narrative found a foremost place, and excited very general interest. A generation ago, few English Churchmen cared to say a good word for the unhappy monks, who suffered so cruel a persecution at the hands of Henry the Eighth and his vicargeneral, Thomas Cromwell.
