1894 The Adventures of Philip on His Way Through the World
What Our Customers Say...
Description

The pocket edition of this work.
Complete in two volumes.
Thackeray's narrative follows Philip Firmin, a spirited but often hapless young man, as he tries to make his way through life and society after the financial ruin of his family.
The novel is narrated by the narrator of 'Pendennis', Arthur Pendennis himself, giving the novel a slightly nostalgic tone.

Undated, dated from Jisc from a copy held at the British Library.
