It is just an ordinary day for Philip the sculptor's son until the news comes that the Persians are about to invade Greece at Marathon, where Uncle Nearchus and his family live. Only Philip can make the journey in time to warn them. This story is set in Ancient Greece.
From very different social backgrounds, Fiona Campbell and Lady "Belle" Isherwood share a passionate dedication to the same cause - the campaign of the Suffragettes to win the vote for women. Writer Guy Dangerfield's interest is more objective - the Suffragettes are simply good copy, although his sympathy grows considerably, as he gets to know the two young women. As they enter 1914, with the war looming the struggle becomes ever more bitter and intense. For Fiona, in particular, the time is fast approaching to stand up and be counted, no matter how frightening the consequences - public condemnation, prison, hunger strikes. Amongst the titles that Geoffrey Trease has written are "Bows Against the Batons", "Tales Out of School" "The Arpino Assignment" "Shadow Under the Sea", "The Calabrian Quest" and "Song for a Tattered Flag".
