A sharp, satirical tale set in the early 1700s that sheds bright light on courtly manners and military life alike.

Enjoy a brisk, witty ride through a turning point of English history.

In Catherine: A Story, Thackeray introduces a world where recruiting parties, camp life, and social gossip mingle with bold literary humor. The opening pages place the action in a vivid past—a time of war, shifting loyalties, and quick, telling character sketches. The narrative follows figures like veteran soldiers and ambitious officers as they navigate fame, fortune, and the temptations of public life.

This edition presents the story alongside Thackeray’s long-running, colorfully drawn portraits of society—peers, innkeepers, merchants, and the gossiping world that surrounds them. Read for the prose’s sly observations, lively pace, and the way humor exposes vanity and virtue in equal measure.

Bright, character-driven scenes with vivid period detail
Witty social critique wrapped in approachable storytelling
Memorable voices and a brisk, accessible narrative rhythm
A window into early 18th-century England’s public and private life

Ideal for readers who enjoy keen humor, atmospheric historical fiction, and Thackeray’s enduring storytelling craft.
