The Life and Adventures of a Cheap Jack, by One of the Fraternity is a memoir written by William Green. The book is a fascinating account of the life of a cheap jack, a traveling salesman who sold a variety of goods at fairs and markets across England in the late 19th century. Green's memoir provides a rare glimpse into the world of the cheap jack, a profession that was both respected and reviled in equal measure.Throughout the book, Green recounts his many adventures on the road, from the highs of making a big sale to the lows of being swindled by dishonest customers. He also describes the many colorful characters he met during his travels, including fellow cheap jacks, gypsies, and the occasional wealthy patron.Despite the challenges he faced, Green loved his life as a cheap jack and took great pride in his work. He believed that his profession was an important part of the fabric of English society, providing a vital service to people who might not otherwise have access to the goods they needed.Overall, The Life and Adventures of a Cheap Jack, by One of the Fraternity is a fascinating and entertaining memoir that offers a unique perspective on a bygone era in English history.
