A Plain Tale: Or The Life Of A Tanner Who Would Not Be An MP is a novel written by T.J. Randle in 1887. The story revolves around the life of a tanner who, despite being offered a chance to become a Member of Parliament, chooses to continue with his humble profession. The novel explores the themes of social class, ambition, and contentment. The protagonist's refusal to enter politics is seen as a rejection of the corrupt and self-serving nature of the political system. The book is written in a simple and straightforward style, with a focus on character development and moral values. It provides a glimpse into the life of a working-class individual in the late 19th century and highlights the importance of staying true to oneself and one's values. Overall, A Plain Tale is a thought-provoking and insightful read that offers a unique perspective on the social and political landscape of its time.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
