Description from the seller

Second edition of this illustrated miscellany of poems, parodies, comic narratives, social sketches, and topical satire.
Henry Cholmondeley-Pennell (1837–1915) was a writer of humorous verse, a journalist, and later a well-known author on fishing and natural history.
In this book, “Puck” functions as a mischievous commentator who travels through contemporary life on the winged horse of poetry, or “Pegasus.”
