The Expedition of Humphry Clinker (Oxford World's Classics)
Editorial Reviews

William Thackeray called it "the most laughable story that has ever been written since the goodly art of novel-writing began." As a group of travellers visit places in England and Scotland, they provide through satire and wit a vivid and detailed picture of the contemporary social and
political scene.
