Easy to read. Produced by Gardner Buchanan, and David Widger "The Attaché; or, Sam Slick in England — Complete" by Thomas Chandler Haliburton is a satirical novel written during the mid-19th century. The story features Samuel Slick, a quintessential American character, who serves as the attaché to the American Legation at the Court of St. James's. The novel humorously explores Slick's observations and interactions as he navigates British society and culture, often contrasting it with his American upbringing. The opening of the narrative introduces the main characters embarking on a voyage from New York to England aboard the Packet ship "Tyler." The party consists of Reverend Mr. Hopewell, Samuel Slick himself, and Jube Japan, Slick's black servant. The tone is light-hearted and conversational, with Slick sharing anecdotes from his previous experiences. Early on, he discusses his peculiar talents and idiosyncratic thoughts, particularly regarding life in England versus his homeland. As the story unfolds, a humorous portrayal of the eccentricities of both Slick and the English climate is established, hinting at a comedic exploration of national identities and the cultural absurdities encountered during their journey.
