About this book
Need a good belly laugh? Set off on the journey of a lifetime with ne'er-do-well Barry Lyndon, the lovably wicked protagonist of William Makepeace Thackeray's beloved picaresque novel. Although the prominent Lyndon clan had an aristocratic past, the money has long since run out, and Barry Lyndon makes his way across Europe trying to restore his reputation and fortune, encountering a series of hilarious scrapes and disasters along the way.
