THE VICAR OF WAKEFIELD

Patrick Tull has again created a masterpiece, a cameo performance. His vicar, Mr. Primrose, calls to mind the robust, periwig-pated fellow" of an earlier age as we watch him endure the total collapse of his once tranquil world. Everything short of boils befalls the hapless Mr. Primrose, but his resolve is never shaken. Patrick Tull's voice, expressive and energized with latent excitement, creates anticipation as listeners bemoan Mr. Primrose and family's parade of tumbling fortunes and rejoice at their restoration. The result is one of the oldest comic novels in English presented to the reader shining with fresh, new varnish. P.E.F.
