No further recommendation is needed. What follows is a tale of love, deceit, betrayal, humour and a hidden hero It was one of Charles Dickens favorite books and a source of inspiration to him. Enjoy.. The story opens with the vicar losing his fortune and moving to another parish. First published in 1766, the loveable and innocent Dr Primrose and his family have given pleasure to all that have read it
