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.

Paperback. Zustand: 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.
