The owl was a baker's daughter : the continuing adventures of Judith Shakespeare / Grace Tiffany.

Summary:
"At the ripe age of sixty-one, Judith Shakespeare, twin of the doomed Hamnet, finds herself fleeing provincial Stratford on horseback to avoid a witchcraft charge. Her traveling companions are a zealous Puritan woman and her mischievous young niece, both displaced by the civil war between the Royalists and Roundheads. Judith also leaves behind her marriage, which has foundered since the wrenching loss of two adult sons to the plague. Her travels take her to London, where she reunites with an old love from her acting days, and to the battlefield outside Oxford, where she serves as a surgeon for Cromwell's forces"-- Provided by publisher.
