About This Book

A collection of short comic poems and sketches presenting a parade of ludicrous incidents and eccentric personae. Each piece is a self-contained vignette in playful rhyme, often headed as the tale of a particular figure, and delivers light social satire, puns, and ironic reversals. Forms range from brief ditties and ballades to longer narrative verses, and the volume mixes domestic farce, topical parody, and whimsical fantasy, with jaunty rhythm and illustrative plates underscoring its breezy, absurd sensibility.
