Book
Grey Adventurer
First published 1942
A survivor of the Commonwealth years faces the return of the Stuarts, danger in London and a journey into the English colonies of North America. Old enemies and political reversals follow him across the Atlantic as he seeks a secure future.
The second English Commonwealth novel connects Restoration politics and the Great Fire with the uncertainties of colonial settlement. Trease shows regime change not as a clean national turning point but as a personal disruption extending far beyond England.
