Publisher's Summary
Propelled into society by his ever-hopeful father, Frank is introduced to a variety of professions in order to make his fortune. Not industrious by nature, however, Frank finds working life a challenge, and by his 25th birthday, he has failed medicine, portrait-painting, caricaturing, and even forgery. Disenchanted with life, he despairs of ever finding something to commit to — until he meets Alicia Dulcifer and her inexplicably wealthy father.
Proffering his own take on picaresque storytelling — and with many a grain of truth for 20-somethings today — this is Wilkie Collins at his entertaining best.

Hilarious
A funny and thoroughly entertaining tale of the bold life of an engaging scamp. A real page-turner, well written and well narrated.

Brilliant gem
Didn’t know this book and what a joy it is! Comic and beautiful, out- Dickensing Dickens, and superbly read.

Not my favourite
I have read about 5 Wilkie Collins novels, and this one definitely does not rate as highly as the others. Perhaps if the narration was better I would have liked it more …
