The Boy In White Linen

Visiting a troubled Jerusalem, schoolgirl Lillianne Pine (Lil) finds she’s increasingly drawn to Harry, a young British Army Captain, after meeting a mysterious boy in white linen.
Stranger still is her sighting of a gorgeous unicorn, which passes unmolested through crowded streets as if invisible to everyone but herself and a few others.
The recently-ended Great War has flooded the city with guns, and a clash of religious festivals previously controlled by thousands of Turkish troops is now policed by just two hundred poorly trained men.
When Jerusalem erupts in riots lasting for days, ever-increasing numbers of Harry’s men are amongst the casualties.
And every one of them, like Lil, had also seen the unicorn.


I would like to apologise to those readers who have taken my work to be an attack on Christianity, when it is in fact a story attempting to restore a spirituality to Christianity that it has been so sadly lacking recently.
The hind or hart symbolises the soul’s chasing of and eventual union with Christ, as portrayed in both Psalm 42 (As the hart panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my soul after thee) and the Song of Songs: the unicorn similarly symbolises the aspect of Christ (please look up the beautiful Unicorn Tapestries) that lies dormant within each and every one of us, simply waiting to be awakened.
Many readers have obviously been affronted by my inclusion of the lost passages of Mark (which have admittedly been elsewhere deliberately misinterpreted to allude to Christ’s love for a man, rather than its true meaning of his love for our soul), yet without these Mark’s sudden reference to a Boy in White Linen within the Garden of Gethsemane remains unprecedented and therefore inexplicable.
