''Queen Philippa and the Hurrer’s Daughter: A Tale of the Haberdashers’ Company'' is a historical fiction novel written by Elizabeth M. Stewart and published in 1853. The story is set in medieval England and follows the life of a young girl named Alice, the daughter of a hurrer (a maker of haircloth). Alice dreams of becoming a member of the prestigious Haberdashers’ Company, but her father believes that it is impossible for someone of her social standing to achieve such a goal. However, Alice’s life changes when she meets Queen Philippa, the wife of King Edward III, who takes an interest in her and helps her achieve her dreams. Along the way, Alice faces many challenges and obstacles, but with the help of the queen and her own determination, she is able to overcome them and become a successful member of the Haberdashers’ Company. The novel is a heartwarming tale of perseverance, friendship, and the power of believing in oneself, set against the backdrop of medieval England.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
