New / Four graphic novels · a home, a stake and a future
Before the Silence. A place to begin.
Follow four numbered stories from an ordinary life and a need for quiet to a possible community, then an imagined warning about the future. Read every page, with notes and the settlement research alongside.
Who rolled the first pasty, and why? Follow herring deliveries, royal land obligations, medieval writing, Devon and Cornwall. Bring an older source if you find one.
