Graveston, Mary
A stone for my keepsake / Mary Graveston - London : Bodley Head, 1971. - 156 pages : 22 cm
On the wall of an old building in Maidenhead hands a faded document dated November 18, 1803 - an appeal for volunteers to defend England against Napoleon's expected invasion. Among the signatures at the foot of the proclamation the name of Poulton can still be deciphered, and it was the journal kept by the Poulton family from 1776 go 1865 that inspired a descendant, Mary Graveston, to write this romantic, partly, imaginary, story of Eulalia and her ill-fated love for Stephen.
