About the work

The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:

LibriVox recording of Joseph Andrews, by Henry Fielding. Read by Denny Sayers. Joseph Andrews ... was the first published full-length novel of the English author and magistrate Henry Fielding, and indeed among the first novels in the English language. Published in 1742 and defined by Fielding as a ‘comic romance,’ it is the story of a good-natured footman's adventures on the road home from London with his friend and mentor, the absent-minded parson Abraham Adams.
