The Last Enchantments
 
 
Dancing days  

Volume 3 in the novel sequence SONS OF THE MORNING
by Simon Watson is published in November 2007.

The dramatic events of 1962-3 – the Cuban missile crisis, the long hard winter, the Profumo scandal and the meteoric rise of the Beatles – culminating in the assassination of President Kennedy provide the turbulent background to the undergraduate adventures of Johnny Clarke: adventures political, amorous, social, literary, sporting and religious. Britain is wriggling out of its post-war chrysalis but at the same time there is the heritage of Oxford and old England to be fought for – and saved.

Popular praise for Dancing Days

‘An entertaining blend of fact and fiction about university life places Simon Watson's The Last Enchantments in the fine tradition of the Oxford novel.’
Dr Michael Vaughan-Lee, Professor of Mathematics, Oxford University
