Beside The Manor Selby
is a period drama
taking place in the Edwardian
era. The story revolves around
the inhabitants of the Manor Selby in and their ties with the
"developing theatre of horrors," i.e. The Great War in Europe. John
Patmos (pictured left)
attempts to elicit the aid of Hezekiah Piker who
is residing at Selby while the owners are in Europe. He wishes Piker to
assist their mutual friend, Captain Vaushnic in his
peace-keeping efforts in Verdun, France. Vaushnic's Austrian and
Serbian ties afford him a unique position in the clandestine peace
accords.
Will Piker consent, and if so what dangers await them in the
battlefields of France?
