The Infant Zephyr: A Tale Of Strolling Life is a novel written by Benjamin Clarke and first published in 1878. The story follows the life of a young boy named Zephyr, who is born into a family of strolling players - traveling actors who perform in towns and villages across the country. As Zephyr grows up, he becomes increasingly aware of the challenges and hardships that come with the strolling life. He witnesses his parents struggling to make ends meet, and he experiences the prejudice and discrimination that strolling players often face from the settled community. Despite these difficulties, Zephyr is determined to follow in his parents' footsteps and become an actor himself. He trains hard and develops a talent for performing, but he also learns that success in the strolling life is not just about talent - it's also about luck, timing, and the ability to adapt to changing circumstances. Throughout the novel, Zephyr faces a number of setbacks and challenges, but he also experiences moments of joy, friendship, and love. The Infant Zephyr: A Tale Of Strolling Life is a poignant and insightful portrayal of a unique and often misunderstood way of life, and it offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of strolling players in the late 19th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
