The Crookit Meg

The Crookit Meg: A Story Of The Year One is a novel written by John Skelton and first published in 1880. The book is set in the year one, during the reign of the Roman Empire. The story follows the life of a young girl named Meg, who is born with a crooked spine and is therefore shunned by her community. Meg is taken in by a group of outcasts who live in the wilderness, and she begins to learn about their way of life. As Meg grows older, she becomes an important member of the group and eventually becomes their leader. Along the way, Meg meets a Roman soldier named Marcus, and the two begin a forbidden romance. However, their love is threatened by the ongoing conflict between the Romans and the outcasts. The Crookit Meg is a tale of love, loyalty, and the struggle for acceptance in a world where being different is often seen as a weakness.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
