Squire Haggard's Journal (original 1975; edition 2000)

if you were to mix Pepys diary with Fielding's 'Tom Jones',then add a touch of Monty Python,you would get the feeling of 'Squire Haggard's Journal'.
Written by Michael Green,the author of that wonderfully funny series of books which include 'The Art of Coarse (sic) Acting'.
Amos Haggard and his hapless son Roderick embark on a series of adventures which involve whores,duels and escapades of all sorts.
On their travels through France,Italy and Germany they are chased by irate husbands and bandit chiefs. In fact (if you are in the right mood) this is a thoroughly enjoyable romp,and great fun. ( )
