(2) YA When her father is arrested for being a Catholic, fourteen-year-old Rosalind escapes to London, in this historical novel set in 1592. A chance encounter with the playwright Christopher Marlowe results in a gig for Rosalind (now disguised as a boy) as his assistant. Thomson has created a well-rounded character who reacts believably to her unraveling life.
