Spoiled,arrogant,filthy rich,and breathtakingly beautiful,the young Lady Godiva Dacre is exiled from the court of Good Queen Bess (who can't abide red-haired competition) to her lonely estate in distant Cumberland,where she looks forward to bullying the peasantry and getting her own imperious way.Little does she guess that the turbulent Scottish border is the last place for an Elizabethan heiress,beset by ruthless reivers (many of them unshaven), blackmailing ruffians,fiendish Spanish plotters intent on regime change and turning Merrie England into a ghastly European Union province,and a cast of supporting heavies who include a Wizard in a pointy hat,a dance-crazed Dominican chaplain,sundry gorgeous villainesses,and even an Amazon pygmy with a blowpipe and poisoned darts [In Elizabethan England? Oh, why not?]
And no one to rely on but her half-witted blonde school chum,a rugged English superman with a knack for disaster,and a dashing highwayman who looks like Errol Flynn but has a Glasgow accent.To say nothing of warlocks,impersonators,taxi-drivers riding brooms,burlesque artists, the drunkest man in Scotland,and several
quite normal characters --- oh,yes, gossips,it's all happening in 'The Reavers',a moral tale obviously conceived in some kind of fit by Flashman author George MacDonald Fraser ... well,he's getting on,and was bound to crack eventually.He admits (nay,insists) that it's a crazy story for readers who love fun for its own sake.
