Sinopsis
Excerpt from The Robber, Vol. 1 of 3: A Tale
From the peasant who tilled the glebe, and whistled to outsing the lark over his happy toil, up to the lord of the manor, the knight whose many ancestors had all been knights before him, the countrymen of England mingled hardly, if at all with the world of the metropolis and of the court; except indeed when some as piring spirit, filled with good viands and a fair conceit, raised his wishes to be knight of the shire, and sit in parliament amongst the more courtly of the land or else when some borough sent its representative to the senate to bring down strange tales of London life and fresh fashions for the wives and daughters.

Excerpt from The Robber, Vol. 1 of 3: A Tale
It was in the olden time of merry England - Not at that far removed period when our native land first received its jocund name from the bowmen of Sherwood, and when the yeoman or the franklin, who had wandered after some knightly banner to the plains of the Holy Land, looked back upon the little island of his birth with forgetfulness of all but its cheerful hearths and happy days. Oh no! it was in a far later age when, notwithstanding wars and civil contentions not long past by, our country still deserved the name of merry England, and received it constantly amongst a class peculiarly its own.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book transports readers to the vibrant and richly textured world of rural England in the 18th century. We meet Henry Langford, a charming and enigmatic young man who arrives in a small country town with a mysterious past. He is drawn to the picturesque river, a place of peace and solitude, where he engages in his favorite pastime, angling. The author skillfully weaves a tale of adventure, intrigue, and romance amidst the backdrop of the era's social hierarchy, with Langford's presence attracting the attention of the local gentry, including the formidable Sir Walter Herbert and his beautiful daughter Alice. As Langford becomes entangled in the lives of these individuals, the reader discovers the depths of his own secrets and the reasons behind his solitary existence. The story explores themes of love, loyalty, and the complex relationships between individuals from vastly different backgrounds. The book ultimately offers a fascinating glimpse into the social fabric of rural England and the power of personal connections to shape our destinies, even in the face of adversity.
