"The Keeper"

[squirtyflower]

Would you say it follows the book by Catrine Clay - Trautmann's Journey?

I read it a while ago, and I've just listened to the audio book in the car just to refresh my memory of his amazing story.

Sorry mate, I haven’t read the book

I've only read the original book by Alec Rowland - that was excellent, no idea why another book was needed, unless someone has read both and can answer that question?

The Catrine Clay book details more of his early life and less of what happened after his heroics in the famous cup final. I wrote a small review for each on LibraryThing after I read them.

And they had a feature on William Harrison Ainsworth later on. A name you'll no doubt recognise.

Nope. I turned over after the Keeper thing. Who is he?

Harrison Ainsworth rote "The Witches of Pendle", amongst other titles. It told of the Lancashire witch trials of the 17th century where a number of women were tried and hanged.
