"Over the centuries Britain has attracted many musical visitors. This book tells the stories of the many composers who visited--a varied and often eccentric collection of individuals. The earliest were invited by royalty with musical tastes; some were refugees from religious and political oppressions; others came as spies, a few to escape from debt and even murder charges. However, the main motive was a possibility of financial reward."--Jacket.
