The Lazy Tour of Two Idle Apprentices is a humorous travelogue written by Charles Dickens. The book is a collection of five short stories that follow the adventures of two young men, Thomas Idle and Francis Goodchild, as they journey through England. The two apprentices are on a mission to experience the country's sights and sounds without exerting any effort. The book is a satirical take on the travel genre and pokes fun at the stereotypical expectations of travel writing. The stories are filled with witty observations, amusing anecdotes, and quirky characters. Throughout the book, the two apprentices encounter a range of eccentric individuals, including a man obsessed with the weather, a woman who believes she is royalty, and a group of amateur actors who are convinced they are the next big thing. The Lazy Tour of Two Idle Apprentices is a light-hearted and entertaining read that showcases Dickens' skill for humor and satire. The book is a must-read for fans of Dickens and those who enjoy travel writing with a comedic twist.In the autumn month of September, eighteen hundred and fifty-seven, wherein these presents bear date, two idle apprentices, exhausted by the long, hot summer, and the long, hot work it had brought with it, ran away from their employer. They were bound to a highly meritorious lady (named Literature), of fair credit and repute, though, it must be acknowledged, not quite so highly esteemed in the City as she might be.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
