Résumé
This is a fictionalized account of the real Thomas Parr who was the first person ever buried in Westminster Abbey's Poet's Corner. He is reputed to have lived to the age of 152 and was well recognized for his sexual abilities, even at such an age. It's 1583, England, and Thomas Parr is 100 years old. Thomas, a simple country gent, rather forgetful, but with a high libido that gets in the way of his daily life, and a passion for cider ale, is kidnapped and taken to Ruthven Castle in Scotland where the aging Earl of Gowrie will do almost anything to learn Thomas' secret to long life.
Thomas doesn't quite grasp why he's in Scotland, but during his time at Ruthven, he meets the Earl's wife, Lady Daphne, and impresses her with his youthful exuberance. Lady Daphne realizes that Thomas might be able to help the young Scottish King James, only 16 years old, who has been held prisoner for a year by the Earl. Lady Daphne is disgusted by her husband and finds Thomas intriguing. Thomas soon finds himself mixed up in politics and the kidnapping of the young King, but all he really wants is to go home to his wife who will be very cross that he's late for supper.
