"Cobwebs from a Library Corner" by John Kendrick Bangs is a compilation of amusing poems from the end of the 1800s, that gives a playful look at books, those who write them, and those who love to read them. The collection is a thoughtful, yet comical, observation of the world of literature, where the quirks of writers and the passion of readers blend together. The verses touch on themes such as what it means to be a writer, the desire for literary success, and the funny difficulties faced by characters living a life surrounded by books. With a mix of gentle mockery the book shines a light on the sometimes ridiculous, yet always heartfelt, aspects of the literary world.
