This is the first time rereading this story and I loved some of the musings Markham had such as wanting to be the ‘lord, or the baron, or the rich merchant’ just for once! Brilliant story.
I finished this one this afternoon. I love it when I read a story from an unexpected narrator's point of view. It reminds me of the one story the P.G. Wodehouse wrote from Jeeves' perspective. You get a full new understanding of the characters and events! Markham has always been one of my favorites.

For some odd reason, this wasn't how I expected Markham to be; however, it was great silly fun.
Love the description of the history department's life expectancy. We need that reindeer at our Christmas celebrations!

Glad you liked it. It was fun writing from his point of view.
Another brilliant story. I can’t help feeling sorry for King Alfred though.
We all know he gets there in the end, though.
