The Lazy Tour of Two Idle Apprentices
1857
The Lazy Tour of Two Idle Apprentices, published in 1857 by Charles Dickens, is a humorous travel narrative that follows two apprentices, Thomas Idle and Francis Goodchild, as they embark on a carefree excursion from London to the Cumbrian countryside. The story humorously explores their contrasting personalities and views on idleness, leading to a series of misadventures, particularly during their attempts to navigate the rainy terrain of Cumberland. This work not only showcases Dickens' wit but also serves as a reflection on leisure and purpose, while providing insight into his friendship with fellow writer Wilkie Collins, who co-wrote the piece under the guise of the characters.
