Synopsis

Set in 1820 London, landscape artist William Daniell hires Jesse Cloud, a homeless teenager, to be his apprentice. But all is not as it seems. Both William and his prentice must make their own inner journeys to expose others' betrayals and explore their own possibilities. Faced with bankruptcy, starvation looms. Friendships fragment. The artist must learn how to see and his prentice must learn how to survive - while the truth shatters all.

À propos de l?auteur

During a career in education and training, Ray has written several articles for academic journals, and has authored teaching materials. Following his work for a national charity, he gained a research PhD (Leicester 2010). Ray led a campaign in 2013 to rescue a local bookshop scheduled for closure, establishing a group of volunteers who formed a new, not-for-profit community company. Kett’s Books has evolved successfully ever since.

A professional theatre company toured Suffolk and Norfolk in 2016 with his play about the life and work of the poet, George Crabbe. In Crabbe’s Peter Grimes (1810), an Aldeburgh fisherman kills three apprentices ‘farmed out’ from a London workhouse. Ray’s background reading about the period sparked fresh ideas for his novel 'The Prentice-Boy'
