The Yellowplush Papers - Major Gahagan and the Fatal Boots

This book contains William Thackeray’s 1838 novel, "The Yellowplush Papers". Written in what was supposed to be a footman's version of English, this book tells the story of Charles J. Yellowplush's different masters: one of whom sweeps a street crossing - and the other is an astute nobleman who gets ensnared in a very clever matrimonial trap set by his own father. A fantastic novel characteristic of Thackeray’s masterful writing ability, "The Yellowplush Papers" is highly recommended for fans and collectors of his work, and would make for a worthy addition to any bookshelf. William Makepeace Thackeray (1811 - 1863), was an esteemed English novelist during the nineteenth century. He became famous for his satirical novels, the most important and influential of which was "Vanity Fair". Many vintage texts such as this are increasingly hard to come by and expensive, and it is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition. It comes complete with a specially commissioned new biography of the author.
