The Stealing Steps by John Arden

The Stealing Steps is a collection of fables, legends, and vignettes from the pen of one of Britain's leading playwrights and novelists. From revolutionary murmurs in 14th century Yorkshire and the pomp of Sheridan's theatreland London, to unfulfilled ambitions and doubtful affiliations in modern-day Ireland, these nine stories - which include the V.S. Pritchett award-winning Breach of Trust - are lavish, bawdy tales of love, age, betrayal, and the astonishing acts of individual men and women. Arden's protagonists are failed artists, poets, writers and storytellers, who dictate from the margins and through time, a history that is not that of kings and queens, but of the forces underpinning human nature.
