All Round The Wrekin is a novel written by Walter White and first published in 1860. The story is set in the Midlands of England and follows the lives of two families, the Brindleys and the Dudleys, as they navigate the challenges of industrialization and social change in the mid-19th century.The Brindleys are a working-class family living in the shadow of the Wrekin, a hill that dominates the landscape. The patriarch of the family, Joe Brindley, is a skilled potter who struggles to make ends meet in a rapidly changing economy. His wife, Sally, is a strong-willed woman who is determined to provide for her family and protect them from the hardships of their surroundings.The Dudleys, on the other hand, are a wealthy family who live in a grand mansion on the outskirts of town. The patriarch, John Dudley, is a successful businessman who has made his fortune in the coal and iron industries. His wife, Lady Dudley, is a proud and haughty woman who looks down on the Brindleys and their way of life.As the story unfolds, the lives of the two families become increasingly intertwined. Joe Brindley's daughter, Mary, falls in love with John Dudley's son, Tom, and the two families are brought together through their relationship. However, their love is threatened by the social and economic divisions that separate them, and they must navigate a complex web of family secrets and societal pressures in order to be together.All Round The Wrekin is a richly detailed and evocative portrayal of life in the Midlands during a time of great change. It explores themes of class, love, and social mobility, and offers a vivid insight into the lives of ordinary people in a rapidly industrializing society.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
