Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"The Call of the Night Rider: A Story of the Days of William Tyndale" by Albert Lee is a historical novel likely written in the late 19th century. The narrative is set during the turbulent times surrounding William Tyndale, the English scholar and translator known for his work on the Bible, and revolves around themes of faith, persecution, and the struggle for religious reform. The key characters introduced in the opening chapters include Margaret Byrckmann, a compassionate young woman, her lover Herman, and the weary stranger who is later revealed to be Tyndale himself. At the start of the story, Margaret encounters a foreign traveler in distress while crossing a meadow near the city. She helps him, revealing her caring nature, but soon the narrative hints at a larger danger when it becomes clear that the stranger is none other than William Tyndale, a man pursued for his reformist beliefs. As the tension mounts with the arrival of the city guards searching for Tyndale, Margaret and Herman devise a plan to protect him from danger, knowing the severe consequences of harboring a heretic in their midst. The atmosphere builds with suspense and urgency as they navigate the risk of discovery in a city hostile to Tyndale’s revolutionary translations of Scripture.
