Publisher's Synopsis
""The Lazy Tour of Two Idle Apprentices"" is a collection of short stories written by Charles Dickens. The book follows the adventures of two young men, Thomas Idle and Francis Goodchild, as they embark on a leisurely tour of England. Along the way, they encounter a variety of eccentric characters, including a drunken landlord, a superstitious innkeeper, and a mysterious stranger. The stories are filled with Dickens' trademark wit and humor, as well as his keen observations of human nature. Through the eyes of Idle and Goodchild, readers are transported to a bygone era of leisurely travel and charming English countryside. This book is a delightful read for anyone who loves Dickens' writing style and enjoys a good adventure story.In the autumn month of September, eighteen hundred and fifty-seven, wherein these presents bear date, two idle apprentices, exhausted by the long, hot summer, and the long, hot work it had brought with it, ran away from their employer. They were bound to a highly meritorious lady (named Literature), of fair credit and repute, though, it must be acknowledged, not quite so highly esteemed in the City as she might be.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
