by Catherine Peters (Author)
Born into gentlemanly affluence, William Thackeray's life was shattered by early separation from his mother. Unhappy at school and idle at Cambridge, he gambled away part of his fortune before he was 21. This biography explores his life and literary success and is illustrated with his own drawings.
