The story follows the adventures of a Miller named Simon and his wife Margery, who live in the town of Mansfield. One day, King Henry II and his entourage pass through the town and stop at Simon's mill to rest. Simon, who is known for his wit and cunning, impresses the king with his cleverness and quick thinking. The king is so impressed that he offers Simon a position in his court. However, Simon declines the offer, preferring to remain in Mansfield with his family.The play is a humorous and entertaining tale that explores themes of class, loyalty, and the power of wit and intelligence. It features a colorful cast of characters, including the bumbling and comical King Henry II, the clever and resourceful Simon, and the feisty and independent Margery. The play is written in a lively and engaging style, with plenty of witty dialogue and clever wordplay. It is a classic example of 18th-century English drama and remains a popular and beloved work to this day.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
