The Broad Highway by Jeffrey Farnol. So old it’s FREE (on Kindle, at least - it's pre-copyright). This book was a runaway bestseller in its day. It was written in the early 20th century but takes place in regency England (early 1800s). A young gentleman finds he has not, as he'd expected, been left money by a wealthy relative. He embarks on a walking tour through England, seeking to make his way in the world. This despite his being a gentleman and a scholar (a breed not really meant for work back then). He has entertaining, implausible adventure after entertaining implausible adventure. Love and kissing and duels and fights galore. Themes of honor and great old fashioned stuff. And did I mention it’s free?
