About this audiobook
Oliver Goldsmith earned instant acclaim when he published The Vicar of Wakefield, a marvelous mixture of burlesque and satire. The simple village vicar, Mr. Primrose, is living with his wife and six children in complete tranquility until unexpected calamities force them to weather one hilarious adventure after another. Goldsmith plays out this classic comedy of manners with a light, ironic touch that is irresistibly charming.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This novel was enormously popular until about a hundred years ago. The wars of the 20th century may have made Goldsmith's faith in human nature and love of virtue seem naive. It's a world where character and integrity are all important. Reading it now, I thought it's a brilliant combination of the book of Job and Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice.
