A remarkable and true story of a village stricken with plague through the arrival from London of a box of clothing; of the villagers’ determination, under the persuasions of the present and former Rectors, to prevent its spread by remaining within the village and containing the disease at the certain risk of their own lives; of the human tragedies and even comedies that ensued; of the idealism and the courage required to live with that idealism.
