Jack and the Tanner of Wymondham is a historical fiction novel set in the time of Edward VI, written by Anne Manning. The story follows a young boy named Jack, who is taken in by a tanner named John Lister after his parents die. Jack grows up learning the trade of tanning, but also becomes interested in the political and religious conflicts of the time, including the rise of Protestantism and the persecution of Catholics. As Jack becomes more involved in these conflicts, he finds himself caught between his loyalty to Lister and his own beliefs. When Lister is accused of being a Catholic sympathizer, Jack must choose whether to stand by his mentor or risk his own safety by speaking out. Along the way, he meets a cast of characters including a Protestant minister, a Catholic priest, and a young girl named Nelly who becomes his friend and confidante. The novel offers a vivid portrayal of life in 16th century England, including the tensions between different religious groups, the harsh realities of working-class life, and the struggles of young people trying to find their place in a rapidly changing world. Overall, Jack and the Tanner of Wymondham is a compelling and thought-provoking tale that will appeal to readers of all ages.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
