The story of Jabez Clegg is one of the north country's best-loved novels. A tale of adventure, drama and romance. It tells of the orphan blue-coat boy from Chetham's College, who by strength of character rises from the humble home of which he is the adopted son to be successively apprentice and then master in his own right and a man of wealth and influence in the commercial life of Manchester. This is one of Mrs Linnaeus Banks' most successful stories; of a high moral tone and with an authentic background of eighteenth-century Manchester. It brings to life not only prospering commercial development in Manchester but the misery and tragedy of those to whom fate has dealt an unkind hand. Frontis. photograph of Mrs Linnaeus Banks.
