Opis

A bitingly funny historical novel, following Brother Diggory on an eerily prescient journey through fourteenth-century England.

Recenzje

There is a cure for pandemic gloom. What you need to do is read a funny novel about an even more deadly plague, the Black Death of the 14th century. Hurdy Gurdy is that novel . . . this novel is as short and funny as Dudley Moore. A read made for plague-fogged brains. The Times
