Paradise Misplaced – by James Magrane

It is 1658 – the dying days of the English Republic under the Cromwells – and down-on-his-luck publisher, Bartholomew Garnet, gets the chance to publish Paradise Lost by John Milton. But why are the office of censorship so interested in the manuscript? Why is his obliging new housekeeper asking so many questions? And will Garnet discover principles in time to get Paradise Lost published?
