It involves a dashing young British Army officer, who is transferred to Cork with his regiment. While there, he undergoes what Lever calls \"a mass of incongruous adventures\"; or, to put it in the words of the hero of the story: \"Such was our life in Cork-dining, drinking, dancing, riding steeplechases, pigeon shooting, and tandem driving-filling up any little interval that was found to exist between a late breakfast, and the time to dress for dinner...\" The book is filled with hilarious stories and anecdotes, and all sorts of interesting Irish characters-including some penetrating sketches of Catholic clerical life. In the later part of the book, the story ventures to Europe where we meet Arthur O'Leary, who becomes a main character in a later volume. Lever was astonished at the success of Harry Lorrequer, and once remarked: \"If this sort of thing amuses them, I can go on for ever.\" He did not \"go on forever,\" but he did complete some 37 volumes including classics like Charles O'Malley, Tom Burke of Ours, and Lord Kilgobbin.
