Lazy Tour Of Two Idle Apprentices

The Lazy Tour of Two Idle Apprentices by Charles Dickens and Wilkie Collins offers a delightful glimpse into the camaraderie of two literary giants. In September 1857, under the pseudonyms Francis Goodchild and Thomas Idle, they embarked on a walking tour of northwest England, chronicling their experiences for Dickens's magazine Household Words. This annotated edition, part of the Alma Classics 101 Pages series, provides readers with a charming account of their adventures, complete with a pair of eerie ghost stories that showcase their storytelling prowess. The narrative is infused with wit and a gentle mockery of their own leisurely pursuits, offering a unique insight into their friendship and the literary culture of the Victorian era.
