1. 1. The History Of Pompey The Little

   

   This novel offers a satirical glimpse into 18th-century English society through the eyes of an observant lapdog named Pompey. Born to a common mother, Pompey's adventures begin when he is adopted by a series of owners from various strata of society, including a coquette, a nobleman, and a scholar, among others. Through Pompey's journey, the book humorously critiques the follies and vices of the people he encounters, using the canine protagonist's perspective to offer a unique, and often amusing, commentary on the social mores and customs of the time. The narrative serves as a vehicle for satire, employing wit and irony to examine human nature and social hierarchies.
