"Captain Ravenshaw; Or, The Maid of Cheapside" by Robert Neilson Stephens, is a story that drops you right into the heart of Elizabethan London, where a soldier known as Captain Ravenshaw tries to make his way in the world amongst the young gentlemen. You first meet him at the Windmill tavern, full of swaggering stories, but it turns out not everyone is impressed, which causes all sorts of trouble over dinner. Right as he’s storming off, a scholar named Ralph Holyday gets caught up in the mess, and suddenly their lives are mixed together with other people, creating a mix of romance, adventure, and the everyday hustle of London back in the 1500s.
