Crabbe is a novel written by Alfred Ainger. The story revolves around a young man named George Crabbe who is dissatisfied with his life and decides to run away from home. He sets off on a journey of self-discovery, experiencing various hardships and challenges along the way. As he travels, he reflects on his past and the people he has left behind. Eventually, Crabbe realizes that he cannot escape his problems and must confront them head-on. Through his journey, he learns valuable life lessons and gains a newfound appreciation for the people and experiences that have shaped him. Ainger's writing style is engaging and descriptive, painting vivid pictures of the landscapes and characters that Crabbe encounters. The novel is a timeless tale of personal growth and the search for meaning in life.On the arrival of the family at Parham, poor Crabbe discovered that even an accession of fortune had its attendant drawbacks. His son, George, records his own recollections (he was then a child of seven years) of the scene that met their view on their alighting at Parham Lodge. As I got out of the chaise, I remember jumping for very joy, and exclaiming, 'Here we are, here we are--little Willy and all!'--(his parents' seventh and youngest child, then only a few weeks old)--but my spirits sunk into dismay when, on entering the well-known kitchen, all there seemed desolate, dreary, and silent.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
