Synopsis "Alfege, Greenwich and the Mystic Eggs"

Alfege, the Archbishop of Canterbury, was murdered at Greenwich by the Danes in 1012. His spirit returns every hundred years on the anniversary of his martyrdom. Alfege's visitations are accompanied by a mystic egg, each is unique, and the owls of Greenwich Park have to fathom its hidden message. Meanwhile, Alfege's spirit appears as a bird and monitors proceedings. In the first story, Trumaine, a little boy, discovers an egg floating in the Thames. He mistakenly thinks it's an ordinary goose egg - but soon learns the truth. In addition to the many courageous children, you will meet King Henry VIII, Gybson, a psychopathic monk, and Dundrik - the kind old hunchback. There is a time machine, a treasure hunt and in the chapter entitled 'Butterflies', insects try in vain to save the doomed Titanic. And will ten-yearold Alice the Witch survive the ducking stool? Colin Walpole was born in Greenwich and went to James Wolfe School, a stone's throw from the church built to commemorate the martyr's life. Although written for young people 'Alfege, Greenwich and the Mystic Eggs', is sure to delight readers of all ages interested in the fascinating history of Greenwich. This series of exiting, often funny stories, shows Greenwich across a whole millennium and when you have read them all, you will want to start again!
