This British novel was written by a Wesleyan preacher. It's about a shoemaker, who was also a Methodist "class leader," and his experiences in caring for his "class" of neighbors. "As hard-headed as the rounded lapstone on which he hammered all day long, as sharp and quick as his shining awl, as obstinate in holding his own as his seasoned shoe-leather; yet, withal, Brother Dan'el had a heart so kind, so wise, so true, that like the hammer it only beat to do good, and like his awl and thread it was always trying to strengthen some pour soul that had got worn in the rough ways of life."  Click to read Daniel Quorm Online
