About This Book

Two schoolboys roam the countryside seeking botanical specimens and adventure, their days filled with songs, pranks, drinking, flirtations and tall tales that draw them into village households, a corporal's humble cottage and encounters with local landowners. The book strings together episodic scenes—picnics, tavern visits, a feigned charm to help a farmer, and an auction—to sketch routines, customs and gossip of rural life. Humor and affectionate detail alternate with moments of social contrast, producing a lively, observational portrait of popular manners and youthful mischief.
