Synopsis

This book looks at a historical conflict through the lens of a fictionalized account of the lives of three characters: John Bull, Nic Frog, and Hocus. John Bull, an honest and hard-working tradesman, finds himself embroiled in a costly lawsuit that he is tricked into by the cunning lawyer, Hocus. As the case drags on for years, Bull's fortunes decline. The author uses this story to critique the legal system and the ways in which it can be abused by those in power. The book also explores the themes of greed, corruption, and the importance of honesty and fair dealing. Through the story of John Bull, the author offers a timeless and thought-provoking examination of the human condition and the challenges that individuals face in a world often driven by self-interest and injustice.
