This lavishly illustrated facsimile edition comprises a humorous story about the adventures of a 19th century London gentleman visiting the seaside resort of Margate. There he naively befriends a poor 'vulgar boy', only to have his trust betrayed... A quaint fable from the Victorian era, or a cautionary tale for modern-day DFLs coming 'down from London' to explore Thanet's nooks and crannies (and crooks and nannies)? Some of the faces depicted in Jessop's wonderful cartoons can still be found in the side streets around Margate Pier and the Turner Contemporary art gallery! The verse - in rhyming couplets throughout - forms part of the ever popular Ingoldsby Legends. An appendix also explains the witty references that pepper the poem, and some terms that may be unfamiliar to modern readers.

Ingoldsby, Thomas: - Richard Harris Barham (1788-1845) was born in Canterbury, and achieved fame as a writer of humorous verse under the pseudonym "Thomas Ingoldsby".

Jessop, Ernest: - Ernest Jessop (1851-1909) was born in St John's Wood, London, as the son of a wine merchant. After a successful career he died in Kensington, in an area now known as Billionaires' Row.

Jones, Ben: - Ben Jones won a scholarship to Oxford University to study Japanese, then lived in Japan for a few years, translating and interpreting in fields ranging from business and technology through to avant-garde drama and the Bujinkan martial arts. He has since continued this work in the UK, becoming head of the Institute of Translation and Interpreting's Japanese Network, and now runs a successful languages business from his home in Kent. He also runs the boutique publishing house 'Ozaru Books' and performs as a professional musician.
