Summary: "Parson Kelly" by A. E. W. Mason and Andrew Lang is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. Set in the early 18th century, the story revolves around the titular character, Parson Kelly, and his entanglements in a plot supporting the Jacobite cause during a time of political intrigue in England and France. The narrative hints at themes of loyalty, friendship, and the blend of lowly affairs with grand conspiracies. The opening of the book introduces us to Nicholas Wogan, a retired colonel involved in plotting for King James's cause, and his lively friend, Parson Kelly, who often finds himself in humorous yet precarious situations.
