The war has crept all the way to Bently Corbatt's front door.
The year is 1780. The American Revolution has been going on for years. There are thousands of soldiers camped everywhere around Bently's house. Everywhere he looks, he sees cold, hungry soldiers.
One day a bookman arrives at the house. He travels all over the country, selling books. He decides to stay a while with Bently and his sister. He shows them books about amazing places and people.
Is the bookman just another visitor? Or will he change the Corbatts' lives in ways they never imagined?
