Here is the actual cottage at Hale near Liverpool that gentle giant , John Middleton lived  in (1578–1623). Pictured here in he village is author Rachel Lyon holding a mock up of the book due to be published next February. The cottage is being renovated and will be available for  hire next year. We certainly will book a week end for us here at Maverick.
Followers of the Childe of Hale come from all over the world and we fully expect this lovely book by Rachel to be eagerly saught after. Â A presentation to the National Trust will be made later this month.
