The Tour of Dr. Syntax in Search of the Picturesque
William Combe
Leído por Adrian Praetzellis
“To bury these, to christen those,
And marry such fond folks who chose
To change the tenor of their life
And risk the matrimonial strife.”
This was the humdrum life of Dr. Syntax before he set out on his bizarre and hilarious adventures, presented here in the form of satirical poem in 26 cantos. It’s a lot of fun!

I would listen to Adrian Pretzallis read the phone book—an excellent reader. This adventure in verse of a very silly country clergyman who sets out to win his fortune with his pen is perfectly read: with verse, the temptation to fall into a sing-song chant is nearly overwhelming, yet this reader expresses humor and interest in all his lines. I never thought I would like such silly verse so very much but it was addictive, actually. Great job!
Thank you!
