The
year is 1817 and a young country girl, Mary Ashford is looking forward
to the annual Whitsun dance, which is held at a local Coaching Inn. She
attends the dance with her friend, Hannah Cox. She meets a local farmer,
Abraham Thornton. They dance the night away and leave at the stroke of
midnight to begin their walk home on a fresh May night. Mary is never
seen alive again. Although dramatised, 'One Morning In May' is an accurate
historical account of what happened in Erdington that year and is packed
full of photographs taken by Michael Madden and superb illustrations by
Mandy Farrar that help the reader immerse themself in the mystery. |
