Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Fuel of Fire "First by the King, and then by the State, And thirdly by that which is thrice as great As these, and a thousandfold stronger and higher, Shall Baxendale Hall be made fuel of fire." It fell upon a day (so the ancient chronicles tell us) - before men had discovered that Mershire was a land whose stones were of iron and her foundations of coal - that Guy, the eldest son of Sir Stephen de Baxendale, went out hunting in the merry greenwood which lay between Baxendale Hall and Silverhampton town. And because Guy was too young to take such heed to his own steps and the steps of his steed as an older and wiser huntsman would have done, the horse put his foot into a rabbit-hole, thereby bringing himself and his rider to the ground. In much fear and trembling the retainers picked up the unconscious form of their young master and bore him to Gorsty Hayes, a forester´s lodge in the heart of the wood, which is still standing to this day. There he was nursed back to consciousness by Vivien of the Glade, the forester´s fair daughter, much famed in those parts for her skill in discovering healing herbs, and distilling soothing potions from the same.
