Plot overview The book recounts in prose the tale of not one, but seven Godiva sisters, none of whom ever wear clothing. The explanation for their nakedness, even when walking in snow, is that they were simply themselves and chose not to disguise it. The story opens with the sisters father, Lord Godiva, deciding to leave for the Battle of Hastings on horseback. This upsets the sisters, as horses are wild and untamed animals. Sure enough, before Lord Godiva even manages to leave the castle walls, he is flung from his horse and killed. As a tribute to their father s fate, the Godiva sisters agree to never marry despite the fact that each is courting one of seven brothers named Peeping until they can warn their countrymen of the dangers of horses.
