Summary "The Camp of Refuge: A Tale of the Conquest of the Isle of Ely" by Charles MacFarlane is a historical novel written in the mid-19th century. The book explores the turbulent times of the Norman Conquest, focusing primarily on the struggles of the Saxon people against their oppressors. It features characters such as Elfric, a novice and messenger who navigates the dangers of his environment, and significant historical figures from the era, as they contend with the threat posed by the Normans. At the start of the story, we follow Elfric as he journeys from Crowland Abbey to the succursal cell at Spalding, carrying ominous news about the approaching Norman forces led by Ivo Taille-Bois. His cheerful disposition contrasts sharply with the peril surrounding him as he evades potential threats and reflects on his mission. Upon reaching the cell, he informs the frightened monks about the imminent danger, setting the stage for conflict as they grapple with their dire situation and possible resistance strategies against the looming assault. The opening chapters deftly combine elements of adventure and historical context, establishing both the characters’ challenges and the broader themes of survival and loyalty amidst turmoil.
