| 520 | _a"The Golden Grasshopper: A story of the days of Sir Thomas Gresham" by W.H.G. Kingston is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. The story centers around Ernst Verner, a Dutch boy who becomes an orphan due to the brutal religious persecutions faced by Protestants in his homeland. As he moves to England, we see his struggles and adventures during a period marked by political and religious strife, particularly concerning his connection to the influential merchant Sir Thomas Gresham. At the start of the narrative, the atmosphere is rife with tension as it delves into the persecution of Protestants in the Netherlands, leading to the tragic fate of Ernst's parents. The opening sets the scene in Antwerp, where Gresham is a prominent figure in both commerce and politics. Through his lens, readers experience the difficulties and dangers surrounding the Protestant Reformation, the impact of the Inquisition, and the tenuous lives of those shaped by these events, including Ernst’s emotional turmoil upon witnessing the cruelty inflicted on his family and others. As he starts his new life under Gresham's protection in England, the narrative hints at struggles ahead, both personal and societal, as England grapples with the tension between Protestant beliefs and the returning influence of Catholicism under Mary I.
