Playing the Jack

Good book - good storyline.

Back Cover Blurb:
A novel about a young runaway travelling around England in various disguises. She turns her hand to a number of trades to survive. It is a tale of a band of travellers, a story of a brothel and many more adventures. ( )

This is my absolute favorite Mary Brown book. Filled with fascinating and unique characters, the story moves along swiftly and is a greatly satisfying read. I've recommended it to many friends, and some have liked it so much that they have gone straight back to the beginning to re-read it immediately. While difficult to find these days, it is worth the effort to search it out. ( )
