A witty window into another era, this humour anthology opens with sly smiles and ends with thoughtful sighs. A collection of anecdote gems drawn from diverse corners, it captures the quirks and courtesies of everyday life with a sharp, kindly eye. In English Jests And Anecdotes, various authors sketch Victorian manners and social routines through memorable vignettes, offering classic english humour that still rings true. The book is more than a parade of jokes; it is an intimate portrait of nineteenth century britain, its foibles and codes, its witty anecdote themes, and its enduring humanity. Readers encounter everyday life sketches that pair merriment with reflection, revealing how humour both mirrors and shapes society. Historically significant as a bridge to earlier print culture, the volume stands as a record of language, social ritual, and the bite of satire that defined Victorian humour. It rewards casual readers seeking light, entertaining fare and classic-literature collectors pursuing provenance, wit, and texture. For classic literature lovers and educational reading material alike, the work offers approachable access to a rich heritage, while inviting fresh study and enjoyment. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions. Restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure, this is the Victorian humour anthology that illuminates nineteenth century britain with warmth, verve, and lasting charm.
