# Vicar of Wakefield (version 2)

An audiobook by Oliver Goldsmith, read by LibriVox volunteers (5 h 56 min, English).

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