The following MWE produces a passable result for a half-title page, but
I need to reduce the vertical space between 'A JOURNEY' and 'from the'
so that the 'h' of the 'the' is just touching the baseline of the 'R' in
JOURNEY. At the moment there is some distance between them.
I thought I could do this with \setupinterlinespace[] (not represented
in the MWE because it did not work) but no matter what dimensions I put
in there, it makes no difference. Is there another way I can make
infinitesimal adjustments to distance between the two lines in question?

You can try \offset[y=-3pt]{your text} or \vskip-3pt
Not good style, but could work.

That was the clue I needed - in particular the use of minus values,
which I had entirely overlooked. And since \vskip works, so, therefore,
does simple \blank with a minus value (and better style!), and for that
matter also \hskip to make micro horizontal adjustments. In the end, so
simple and another lesson learned - look to the simple rather than the
more complicated solutions first.
Thank you for the patient mentoring.

You do know what MWE stands for, right?
