In 'Little Travels and Roadside Sketches', the celebrated author William Makepeace Thackeray takes us on a journey through Europe, from the charming town of Richmond in Surrey to the historic city of Brussels. Along the way, he regales us with tales of his adventures in Ghent and Bruges, and his poignant visit to the battlefield of Waterloo. Through Thackeray's witty and observant prose, we are transported to another time and place, where the beauty and the quirks of travel come to life.
