Cover Price $19.95

Using the rich history of Scotney Castle as a starting point, Jamie Rhodes has created five short stories that take place over different eras in this 14th century castle's past: "The Labourer" (Medieval), "The Priest" (Elizabethan), "The Smuggler" (Georgian), "The Widow" (Victorian), and "The Hunter" (Edwardian). Each of these stories has been illustrated by award winning comic and graphic novel artists Isaac Lenkiewicz, Briony May Smith, William Exley, Becky Palmer, and Isabel Greenberg, creating a visually striking graphic collection that is steeped in historical context.
