The author displays such thorough knowledge of customs, culture and language of 1399 London as to place the reader directly into the midst of the superstition, bad medicine, medieval law and class struggle during a time when the king Richard II is being overthrown. Religious political forces are at work to frighten the citizenry and further the overthrow. Common folk are caught up or nearly missed as daily lives are written of in the format of the Canterbury Tales (but easier to read, although it is in the English of the period). There is murder, double crossing, simple folk, master deceivers and a touched nun who maybe speaking from God or the Devil
