The Shadow Between is based on the diary of a well-known illustrator and artist, William Parkinson (1858-1938). This was the period when the old ways were being superseded by the beginnings of modern life– railways, cycles, motor transport, photography, cinemas, medicine, fashions, the fading of the British Empire, and new social attitudes. The story is set in West Sussex, near Midhurst –now the centre of the South Downs National Park. In 1882 William was 24. He visited a college friend whose father was Rector of Terwick, near Rogate and fell in love with the Rector’s daughter. It was a very intense experience which affected the rest of his life. The book is fully illustrated.
