The Plays of John Day is a collection of three plays written by the English playwright John Day. The first play, Law-Trickes, is a satire on the legal profession and the corruption that existed within it during the early 17th century. The second play, The Travailes of the Three English Brothers, is a tragicomedy that tells the story of three brothers who travel to different parts of the world and experience various adventures. The third play, The Blind Beggar of Bednal-Green, is a popular ballad that Day adapted into a play, which tells the story of a blind beggar who is able to see through the power of love. The book was originally published in 1659 and provides an insight into the social and cultural landscape of England during the 17th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
