The Great St Mary's Day Out: A Chronicles of St Mary's Short Story (A Chronicles of St. Mary's Short Story)

With Dr Bairstow and Mrs Mack turning a simple visit to a street market into a public brawl, Professor Rapson inadvertently stowing away on a vessel bound for the New World, and Shakespeare himself going up in flames, it would seem that Max, of all people, is the only one actually completing the assignment.
