Toilers Of Babylon A Novel

Toilers of Babylon

Toilers of Babylon by B. L. Farjeon is about the western travels of young Nansie and her adventurous pioneer of a father. Excerpt: "A peculiar feature of the caravan was that it was commercially empty. In times gone by it had been used for trading and speculative purposes, by gypsies, by enterprising travelers, by vendors of baskets, by dealers in birds. It had served as mart and dwelling-house and had played its part in numberless fairs when they were in fashion. Now it contained nothing marketable, and bore about it no sign to denote that its denizens were traveling for profit; but that, even in its old age, it was being put to pleasant use was proved by the smoke curling from the little chimney projecting through the roof."

Excerpt from Toilers of Babylon, Vol. 3 of 3 From the day of its formation the Wilberforce Club had prospered, and although it could never boast of more than sufficient funds to carry out its modest requirements, the principal of which were books and news papers, it had become in some sense a political power in the district.
