The Drummer’s Coat is a novel written by John William Fortescue in 1900. The book is set in the 18th century and follows the story of a young drummer boy named Tom. Tom is an orphan who is taken in by a group of soldiers and becomes a drummer in the army. As Tom grows up, he becomes more and more disillusioned with the army and the way they treat their soldiers. He eventually deserts and sets out on his own, traveling across the countryside and encountering a variety of characters along the way. Throughout the book, Tom is haunted by the memory of a coat that he saw as a child. The coat belonged to a wealthy man who treated Tom kindly, and it becomes a symbol of the kindness and compassion that Tom is searching for in his own life. The Drummer’s Coat is a story of adventure, self-discovery, and the search for meaning in a world that can be harsh and unforgiving. It is a classic tale of coming of age and finding one’s place in the world, told with vivid descriptions and engaging characters.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
