About the book

Surtees's Jorrocks' Jaunts and Jollities introduces John Jorrocks, the unforgettable sporting grocer whose enthusiasm for fox hunting is matched only by his confidence and comic misuse of language. The stories follow Jorrocks through hunting expeditions, travels and social encounters, allowing Surtees to satirise fashionable sporting society and those eager to imitate it. Full of eccentric characters, lively dialogue and sporting adventure, the collection established Jorrocks as one of the great comic creations of nineteenth-century English literature.
