A collection of comic stories from the publications of Thomas Hood."Mr. Hood possesses an original wealth of humour invention and an odd sort of wit that should rather be called whimsicality or a faculty of the 'high fantastic.' Among comic writers he is one of those who also possess a genuine pathos; it is often deep and of much tenderness occasional of expression and full of melancholy memories. The predominating characteristics of his genius are humorous fancies grafted upon melancholy expressions." - Richard H. Horne 1844 A New Spirit of the Age. Found p. 130 vol. iii. Moulton's Library of Literary Criticism of English and American Authors.Thomas Hood 1799-1845 b. & d. in London England. A poet journalist and humorist a "notable writer of comic verse having originated several durable forms for that genre.There is something sinister about Hood's sense of humour a trait that was to reappear in the 'black comedy ' of the latter 20th century. His pages are thronged with comic mourners and undertakers and a corpse is always good for a laugh. He was famous for his punning which appears at times to be almost a reflex action serving as a defense against painful emotion." - Encyclopedia Britannica online. Edward Moxon & Co. hardcover
