A MAGGOT is not an historical novel in the normal sense. It began as a quirk or obsession (a 'maggot') in the archaic sense of the word) which found its setting in the second wave of Protestant Dissent in Engl&. It took shape as a mystery
- a compelling investigation of unaccountable motives & deeds
- which led through beguiling paths to a starling vision at its centre.
