Unfortunately their mean neighbours Lord and Lady Grabbett, newcomers to the district as a reward from King John, are looked on with disgust. Which is quite a trial for Helena Fiennes and Stephen Grabbett, much in love in a Romeo and Juliet situation. Luckily they have good friends in Gawain, a travelling troubadour, their tutor monk, Cuthbert and the sheriff&rsquo;s offspring, Melissa and Edmund Hansdowne. With their father, Sir E&rsquo;Slee Hansdowne and his constables Lore and Ordah keeping the peace, it is easy for Lord Grabbett, aided by Hangum and Bashum, notorious thieves, to concoct a plot to take over the Fiennes lands by disrupting the annual spring fertility rite whereby Lady Fiennes rides the town boundary on her white horse. The plot fails through the intervention of Ma Baker and her simple son, Danny, and Helena and Stephen are allowed to find true happiness together.<br /><br />Cast of 17 main characters with a chorus of townspeople, country ruffians and a tour guide. </td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"> <img src="images/go_to_top.gif" style="border-width: 0px;" /> <b class="ProductDetailHeading">Cast Summary</b><br /><br /> Ride A Cock Horse: 17 principals<br /> </td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"> <img src="images/go_to_top.gif" style="border-width: 0px;" /> <b class="ProductDetailHeading">Testimonials</b><br /><br /> </td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"> <img title="Back to Top" src="images/go_to_top.gif" style="border-width: 0px;" /> <b class="ProductDetailHeading">Specifications</b><br /><br /> <table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"> <tbody><tr> <td style="width: 90px;">Format: </td> <td>Paperback </td> </tr> <tr> <td>Pages: </td> <td>44 </td> </tr> <tr> <td>Dimensions: </td> <td>A5 (148mm width x 210mm height) </td> </tr> <tr> <td>Publisher: </td> <td>Jasper Publishing </td> </tr> <tr> <td>Published: </td> <td>1998 </td> </tr> <tr> <td>Language: </td> <td>English </td> </tr> <tr> <td>ISBN: </td> <td>1 902837 03 7 </td> </tr> </tbody></table> </td> </tr> </tbody></table> <img src="images/square_icon.gif" border="0" />&nbsp;<a href="Index.html">Home</a>&nbsp; <img src="images/square_icon.gif" border="0" />&nbsp;<a href="http://www.jasperpublishing.com/">Ajax website</a>&nbsp; <img src="images/square_icon.gif" border="0" />&nbsp;<a href="http://www.jasperpublishing.com/NonAjax/">NonAjax website</a>&nbsp; <br /><br /> </td> <td> </td> </tr> </table> </body> </html>
