About this book

Desiderius, ten years old when the story starts, recalls a household where his parents, his white-haired grandmother and his sixteen-year-old brother Lorand lived without a quarrel. His journal fills the first chapter, and thirty-one more follow, with titles such as The Girl Substitute, A Glance into a Pistol Barrel, Two Girls and The Bridal Feast.

Mór Jókai was a Hungarian novelist, and the translator, Arthur B. Yolland, notes that many Hungarians rank this novel as his best. Yolland finished the English version in Budapest in 1898, with help from Zoltán Dunay.
