Produced by Roger Frank and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net "Nicanor - Teller of Tales: A Story of Roman Britain" by C. Bryson Taylor is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. The narrative unfolds during the last days of Roman power in Britain, capturing the life of the protagonist, Nicanor, a young storyteller who is destined for greatness. The story explores themes of fate, artistic expression, and the struggle for identity within the backdrop of a crumbling empire. The opening of the novel introduces Nicanor as the son of a wood-cutter and the heir to a legacy of storytelling, indicated by the family lineage that includes his ancestor Melchior, a renowned tale-teller. As Nicanor experiences a moment of youthful reverie while contemplating his potential, his parents express both pride and concern for his future. This sets the stage for his journey south toward Londinium, driven by a desire to explore his talents and the world around him. Along the way, he encounters various characters and challenges, which not only shape his understanding of storytelling but also foreshadow the struggles and conflicts he will face in a society teetering on the edge of chaos.
