An ingenious reconstruction of an episode in English social and religious history, based in the mid-Victorian era at the time of the Great Exhibition. A medley of figures, the good and the great, flit across the stage. These, and the ambience of the period are authentically captured in an entertaining narrative, spiced with a selection of satirical engravings from Punch. The author states that none of the characters who play a part in this historical narrative is imaginary, but readers may find some historical facts with "a bit of adjustment in the order of events".
