Little Pedlington and the Pedlingtonians is a satirical novel written by John Poole. The book is set in the fictional town of Little Pedlington, which is described as a small and provincial English village. The story follows the lives of the town's inhabitants, known as the Pedlingtonians, and their various eccentricities and idiosyncrasies. The novel is a biting critique of English society in the mid-19th century, particularly the hypocrisy and narrow-mindedness of the middle class. Poole uses humor and absurdity to expose the flaws and follies of his characters and their society. The book is divided into a series of vignettes, each focusing on a different aspect of life in Little Pedlington. Some of the topics covered include politics, religion, education, and social status. The characters are drawn from all walks of life, from the wealthy and powerful to the poor and downtrodden. Overall, Little Pedlington and the Pedlingtonians is a witty and incisive satire that offers a glimpse into the social and cultural landscape of mid-19th century England.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
