At age 5 his father died and his mother sent him back to England. His education was of the best but he himself seemed unable to apply his talents to a rigorous work ethic. However, once he harnessed his talents the works flowed in novels, articles, short stories, sketches and lectures. Sadly, his personal life was rather more difficult. After a few years of marriage his wife began to suffer from depression and over the years became detached from reality. Thackeray himself suffered from ill health later in his life and the one pursuit that kept him moving forward was that of writing. In his life time, he was placed second only to Dickens. High praise indeed.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e William Makepeace Thackeray\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1787370658\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781787370654\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Miniature Masterpieces\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/20\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 26\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.11lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.05d","brand":"William Makepeace Thackeray","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48153837666559,"sku":"9781787370654","price":10.24,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_31edbb71-c447-4e97-aad4-a2aeb57c1084.jpg?v=1770786165","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/william-makepeace-thackeray-doctor-william-makepeace-thackeray-9781787370654","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
