Our Kate, Joe Braggs, And I All Had A Hand In The Beginning, And As Great Results Grew In The End Out Of The Small Events Of That December Morning, I Will Set Them Down In Order. It Began By My Refusing Point-Blank To Take Kate To The Vicar's To Watch The Soldiers March By. I Loved The Vicar, The Grave, Sweet, Childless Old Man Who Had Been A Second Father To Me Since The Sad Day Which Made My Mother A Widow, And But For The Soldiers Nothing Would Have Been More Agreeable Than To Spend The Afternoon With The Old Man And His Books. But My Heart Would Surely Have Broken Had I Gone. [more]

If anybody cares to read a simple tale told simply, I, John Ridd, of the parish of Oare, in the county of Somerset, yeoman and churchwarden, have seen and had a share in some doings of this neighborhood, which I will try to set down in order, God sparing my life and memory. And they who light upon this book should bear in mind not only that I write for the clearing of our parish from ill fame and calumny, but also a thing which will, I trow, appear too often in it, to wit—that I am nothing more than a plain unlettered man, not read in foreign languages, as a gentleman might be, nor gifted with long words (even in mine own tongue), save what I may have won from the Bible or Master William Shakespeare, whom, in the face of common opinion, I do value highly. In short, I am an ignoramus, but pretty well for a yeoman. [more]
