Pavane

In this Earphones Award-winning audiobook, celebrated author and narrator Neil Gaiman presents Keith Roberts' masterwork, Pavane, originally published in 1968. Set in an alternate 20th century where the Roman Catholic Church has maintained control since the assassination of Queen Elizabeth, the work comprises linked stories depicting a society trapped in a Dark Age of steam power. Through these poignant tales, Roberts explores themes of destiny and history within the context of the citizens' struggles for independence in Dorset, England. Gaiman's personal connection to the book adds depth to this remarkable piece of fantastic literature.
