And in the introduction to this new edition, Swallow Press executive editor and author Kevin Haworth calls attention to the contemporary feeling of the story-despite its having been written more than fifty years ago and set several hundred years in the past. As in Lewis's best-known novel, \u003ci\u003eThe Wife of Martin Guerre\u003c\/i\u003e, the plot derives from Samuel March Phillips's nineteenth-century study, \u003ci\u003eFamous Cases of Circumstantial Evidence, \u003c\/i\u003e in which this British legal historian considered the trial of Pastor Sören Qvist to be the most striking case.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJanet Lewis\u003c\/b\u003e was a novelist, poet, and short-story writer whose literary career spanned almost the entire twentieth century.
