The Adventures of Count Fathom by Tobias Smollett, Fiction, Literary
by Tobias George Smollett , G. H. Maynadier
Synopsis
The central character of the novel is a villainous dandy who cheats, swindles and philanders his way across Europe and England with little concern for the law or the welfare of others. The son of an equally disreputable mother, Smollett himself comments that "Fathom justifies the proverb, 'What's bred in the bone will never come out of the flesh"
