William Blake works in obscurity. Next door, country boy Jem Kellaway moves in and strikse up a tentative friendship with street-savvy Maggie Butterfield. While England is roked by the waves of the French Revolution, the two children navigate the confusing and exhilarating path to adolescence. Their lives intertwine with Blake's and inspire him in this brilliantly rendered historical tale.
