The Captains Fancy is set during four tumultuous decades in the middle of the 20th Century. A time when ordinary people did extraordinary things and heroes were marked by their deeds. Lives were framed by experiences and loves were lost due to circumstances beyond their control.

​

George and Robbie Burgess enlisted to fight for Britain in WW2 from their colonial outpost. Their paths were vastly different but both ultimately ended up as unsung heroes. This is their story and the woman that came between them.
