Published after Thackeray’s death, this miscellany draws on the books he owned and the comic drawings he scribbled in their margins. Grego’s chapters wander through Thackeray’s schooldays, his reading in the eighteenth-century essayists and dramatists, his fondness for caricature, and anecdotes of his life, reproducing many of the sketches along the way.
A treasure for admirers of Thackeray the artist as well as Thackeray the novelist. Download the free EPUB.
