The Lazy Minstrel (1887) (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781164020615)

The Lazy Minstrel is a novel written by Joseph Ashby-Sterry and originally published in 1887. The story follows the life of a young man named Jack, who is a talented musician but also incredibly lazy. Despite his lack of ambition, Jack manages to attract the attention of a wealthy patron who offers to support him financially if he agrees to study music seriously. However, Jack's laziness and lack of discipline continue to hold him back, and he struggles to make progress in his music studies. Along the way, he meets a variety of colorful characters, including other musicians, artists, and writers, and he begins to question whether a life of laziness is truly fulfilling. The Lazy Minstrel is a humorous and satirical look at the Victorian era and the societal expectations placed on young men of the time.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
