Mr. Sponge's Sporting Tour New
Merchant: Oxfam
Merchant's Category: Media> Books
Novel by R.S. Surtees (though not named in the volume), illustrated by John Leech (with 13 colour engravings). 'Soapey' Sponge is a horse-coper, the Victorian equivalent of a plausible and unscrupulous used-car salesman: he specialises in flogging spavined or ill-tempered nags, temporarily reconstituted, to credulous country gentlemen, and moving on to the next county before they realise what they have let themselves in for. As his surname suggests, Mr Sponge is a natural predator, and he comes into his own in the hunting shires of England. Taking with him a reconditioned nag and a seedy Sancho Panza named Mr Leather, he moves from country house to country house, exploiting their owners' hospitality until their patience runs out or a sale has been made... In original decorated cloth binding.
