The Dodd Family Abroad, both volumes in a single file

Popular novel first published in 1895. According to Wikipedia: "Charles James Lever (31 August 1806 - 1 June 1872) was an Irish novelist… Trollope praised Lever's novels highly when he said that they were just like his conversation. He was a born raconteur, and had in perfection that easy flow of light description which without tedium or hurry leads up to the point of the good stories of which in earlier days his supply seemed inexhaustible.”
