The witch-finder William Manning tracks Tom down to the Globe Theatre.

Tom Hazard has a rare condition - he ages very, very slowly with the result that, while he looks about 41, he is in fact over 400 years old.

Over the centuries, it has been a dangerous condition to have, so he has continually changed identities and moved from place to place. And he has travelled the world. In search of at least the pretence of normality, he returned to London.

Matt Haig's novel abridged by Jeremy Osborne.
