Lady Godiva and Master Tom is a vintage novel by Raoul C. Faure, published in 1949. It falls within the mystery genre and explores themes of love, family, sensuality, suspense, and espionage.
This book is essentially an imaginative novelization of the life of the infamous Lady Godiva, focusing on her legend and how it might be interpreted, particularly in connection to the figure of Peeping Tom. Reviews suggest the book has a well-imagined medieval setting but the characters' psychology feels too modern. Some reviews also mention that the book is more of a "sensual ode to Godiva and her body".
