The Adventures of David Simple: Containing an Account of His Travels Through the Cities of London and Westminster in the Search of a Real Friend (The ^AWorld's Classics)

Sarah Fielding was the sister of Henry Fielding and a close friend of Samuel Richardson. She shares much of her brother's wit and irony, but it was primarily for her psychological penetration that her work was praised. This edition of her first novel reprints the text that was substantially revised, and prefaced, by her brother.
