Fairly easy to read. Produced by Polly Stratton and Andrew Sly "The Broad Highway" by Jeffery Farnol is a novel written during the early 20th century. The story centers around Peter Vibart, a young man of means who finds himself contending with the realities of life after receiving a meager inheritance and a challenge from his late uncle's will. Determined to forge his own path, Peter decides to embark on a walking tour through the English countryside, seeking adventure and perhaps love, as he navigates both humorous and tumultuous encounters along the way. The opening of "The Broad Highway" introduces us to Peter Vibart at the reading of his uncle's will, where he learns he has been left ten guineas and a condition requiring him to marry the Lady Sophia Sefton in order to inherit a substantial fortune. The scene is comedic, featuring a colorful cast of characters, including Sir Richard, a family friend who is bemused by Peter’s prospects. With aspirations of travel and a desire to experience life beyond the constraints of wealth, Peter sets out on his journey just as he bids farewell to his home, grappling with his financial limitations while expressing optimism about the adventures that await him along the "Broad Highway."
