The golden journey of Mr. Paradyne by William John Locke is a literary novella written in the early 20th century. It explores a brilliant but spiritually numb London barrister who slips out of suburban respectability and, under the spell of a haunting flageolet melody, stumbles into a vagrant life on the French roads.
