"A wild ride through the 19th Century Irish countryside." This is the first of Charles Lever's rollicking military novels. 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..."

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."
