Description

Classic Literature. Fiction. Historical Fiction. Humor (Fiction.) HTML: Scottish writer John Galt is hailed by many critics as one of the first authors to explicitly take on political themes in his fiction. In The Entail, Galt tackles the touchy issue of the value of inherited wealth as opposed to that which is earned and accumulated through one's own labor..

I didn't enjoy this nearly as much as Annals of the Parish. Fine, but didn't hold my attention as well and wasn't anywhere near as amusing.
