Synopsis
Twenty-five stories are contained in this text, beginning with the search for an alchemist's secret, and ending with the re-imagination of a past world. Each is connected to a remote corner of north-east England, and each exploring the uncertain line where myth is dissolved into science, and belief gives way to knowledge.
