Publisher's Synopsis
""Nicky Nan Reservist"" is a novel by Sir Arthur Thomas Quiller Couch that tells the story of Nicky Nan, a young man from a small Cornish village who is called to serve in the British Army during World War I. Nicky, who is not particularly interested in military life, finds himself in a series of unexpected and often humorous situations as he tries to adapt to his new surroundings and fulfill his duties as a reservist. Along the way, he meets a cast of colorful characters, including fellow soldiers, officers, and local villagers, who help him navigate the challenges of army life. The book offers a vivid and entertaining portrayal of the experiences of a reservist during the war, and explores themes of duty, loyalty, and the impact of war on ordinary people.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
