The Golden Crucifix
What do the conditions mean?
Our conditions mean the following:
- New - a brand new book
- Almost New - appears new but is actually secondhand.
- Very Good - only minor imperfections such as minor scuffs to edge or cover or a price written in pencil or shop sticker.
- Standard Secondhand - Clearly been read before, but not too bad. We do not recommend these for gifting. Spines usually creased. Could also include creases or folds to cover, some writing such as in the cover or elsewhere, underlining or highlighting, but might not do. Possibly some stains or marks. Similar in general to books in any secondhand shop or charity shop.
- Poor Condition - Usually this will have a specific problem such as writing inside, water damage, missing dust jacket, heavy staining, large creases or cuts. These are readable copies but not nice ones. On other websites this condition is called 'Acceptable' or 'Fair' , but we want to be more honest.

Product Description
On a sultry, threatening summer afternoon, Siobhan, Penelope, Alyce and Emily are picnicking.
When the storm breaks they run for shelter - straight into an unfamiliar world which they don’t understand and where they seem to be in some danger.
They have somehow (but how?) arrived, as they gradually come to realise, in some dark corner of the past, and the people they have to deal with are plotting a terrible massacre. Where and of whom, the girls cannot at first discover.
Siobhan, the eldest, is also the most concerned, not only because of the real danger to herself and her sisters, but also because she feels she must warn the authorities in the person of the King’s Secretary, Robert Cecil - and yet she is fascinated by Catesby, the central conspirator.
Because she has taken little interest in history, she does not know how the story will end...
About the Author
While John Rae was Headmaster at Westminster School, he wrote five books, one for each of his four daughters Siobhan, Penelope, Alyce and Emily; and one for his twin sons Shamus and Jonathan (called ‘The Third Twin’). These family-oriented adventure stories were written while he was living in Dean’s Yard, in the heart of London, under the shadow of Westminster Abbey.
The five books are:
