The Parson of Dumford: A Story of Lincoln Folk is a novel written by George Manville Fenn and published in 1883. The story is set in the Lincolnshire countryside and revolves around the life of a parson named Mr. Dale, who is the vicar of the small village of Dumford. Mr. Dale is a kind and compassionate man who is loved by his congregation, but he faces many challenges in his personal and professional life.The novel explores the themes of love, family, faith, and social class. Mr. Dale's family is depicted as a typical middle-class family of the time, struggling to make ends meet, while the wealthy landowners of the area are shown to be selfish and cruel. The story also touches on the issue of social mobility, as the parson's son, Tom, falls in love with the daughter of a wealthy landowner, causing tensions between the families.Throughout the novel, Mr. Dale faces various challenges, including a crisis of faith, financial difficulties, and conflicts with his parishioners. However, he remains steadfast in his beliefs and principles, and ultimately emerges as a respected and beloved figure in the community.The Parson of Dumford is a heartwarming and engaging story that provides a vivid portrayal of rural life in 19th century England. It is a classic example of Victorian literature, with its focus on moral values, social issues, and family relationships.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
