The Vicar of Wakefield
by Oliver Goldsmith
The Vicar of Wakefield is the story of a kindly reverend who, having lost his fortune, relocates his family and tries to live a peaceful life. However, many trials befall him and his family, and only his unswerving faith aids virtue to win out in the end. This book is openly sentimental but also gaily humorous, with a charm that has endured for generations of readers. Lord Burton calls it "the most exquisite of all romance in miniature."
