Résumé du livre
The story of the Quakers starts in Europe: Lancacashire, England, in the summer of 1652 when two horsemen blundered into the quicksands of Morecambe Bay. One of the horsemen was George Fox. The accident was see by Margaret Fell, owner of Swarthmoor Hall. From this meeting grew the Religious Society of Friends, and out of the Quaker history, Jan de Hartog has created this epic novel.
