The Gentleman's Guide to Vice and Virtue

Monty
, a born-to-be gentleman who goes against his father's wishes and embarks on an adventure filled with virtues and vices. Not only does he have to avoid being chased by bandits and being captured by pirates, Monty must also confront the feelings he has fostered towards his best friend and travel companion: Percy.
The Gentleman's Guide to Vice and Virtue tackles issues of privilege, abuse, misconceptions of illnesses, and racism.
