Geoffrey Care Former Deputy Chief Adjudicator Immigration Appellate Authority and a Judge of the High Court of Zambia, a Founder of the International Association of Refugee and Migration Judges. ***Geoffrey Care provides a delightful romp through some twenty or so Medieval tales to illustrate how sanctuary worked in practice at one time in England and, in particular, Beverley in Yorkshire. But all for a serious purpose, to demonstrate that asylum has always played an essential role throughout the history of humanity. And that the lessons of mercy and compassion to our fellow human beings should always be our guiding light and that the ‘golden rule, ’ to do on to others as you want done onto you, are the foundations of justice. This scholarly treatise provides a unique historical perspective on an essential human right to be able to seek and to enjoy asylum. Dr James C.
