Vicar of Wakefield

Our story begins in Wakefield, a small town in Yorkshire, in the north of England. The parish was proud of its vicar, Dr. Primrose. This man and his family were a model for everybody. Their lives passed happily and quietly. Thanks to a large personal fortune, the family were quite wealthy. The vicar dedicated his time to improving the parish and helping the poor. It seemed as if nothing could spoil such happiness. Adapted from the novel written by Irish writer Oliver Goldsmith (1724-1774).
