Fair Margaret is a historical romance novel written by H. Rider Haggard, first published in 1907. The story is set in the 16th century and follows the life of Margaret, a beautiful and intelligent young woman who is the daughter of a wealthy merchant. Margaret is in love with a young man named Peter Brome, but her father disapproves of the match and arranges for her to marry the wealthy and powerful Sir John Curzon.Despite her father's wishes, Margaret refuses to marry Curzon and runs away with Peter. The couple faces many challenges as they try to start a new life together, including the wrath of Curzon and the dangers of living in a time of political and religious unrest. Along the way, Margaret and Peter encounter a cast of colorful characters, including pirates, gypsies, and even Queen Elizabeth I herself.Fair Margaret is a thrilling tale of love, adventure, and betrayal set against the backdrop of Tudor England. Haggard's vivid descriptions of the era and his complex characters make for a captivating read that will transport readers back in time.Now he appeared to be much disturbed, and said finally that they would bring him into trouble with the Marquis of Morella--how or why, he would not explain, though Peter guessed that it might be lest the marquis should learn from them that this priest, his chaplain, had been plundering the ship which he thought sunk, and possessing himself of his jewels. At length, seeing that the man meant mischief and would stop them in some fashion if they delayed, they bade him farewell hastily, and, pushing past him, mounted the mules that stood outside and rode away with their guide.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
