Synopsis

In 1800, thousands gathered on the Quantock Hills to watch John Walford hang at Walford’s Gibbet.

He was twenty-something, a charcoal-burner and broomsquire, and guilty of more than the law would ever record.

Told in his own voice, The Last Broomsquire is the story of Johnny Walford’s brief, fierce life — his boyhood devotion to Ann Rice, his fall into temptation, and his desperate attempt to reclaim the only love that ever truly mattered.

Set against the revolutionary ferment of the Romantic poets — including Samuel Taylor Coleridge and William Wordsworth — and inspired by real events in the Quantock Hills, this sweeping historical novel blends passion, betrayal, smuggling and Enlightenment science in a landscape alive with danger and beauty.

History says Johnny Walford died on the gallows.

But history does not always tell the whole story.
