Besom Ben Stories is a collection of short stories written by Edwin Waugh and published in 1881. The stories are set in the rural Lancashire region of England and revolve around the character of Besom Ben, a vagabond who travels from town to town, working odd jobs and telling stories to anyone who will listen. The stories are written in a dialect that reflects the speech patterns of the Lancashire region, adding to the authenticity of the setting and characters. The tales are humorous, poignant, and often contain a moral lesson. Throughout the book, Besom Ben is portrayed as a lovable rogue, who despite his rough exterior, has a kind heart and a talent for storytelling. The stories provide a glimpse into the lives of ordinary working-class people in Victorian England and offer a unique perspective on the social and cultural history of the time.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
