"A Holiday in Bed, and Other Sketches" by J. M. Barrie is a selection of funny writings from the late 1800s that looks at life, vacations, and the funny habits of people. The book makes fun of typical vacations, as well as looking at how nice it is to relax in bed. The first part talks about what you need to do to have a great holiday in bed. He says the trick is to really think you have to get up soon, which makes relaxing feel extra special. Barrie's funny remarks show how messy normal holidays can beālike losing your bags, kids being tired, and the beach being sadāmaking you wonder if itās better to just stay home and rest; Through charm and silliness, it shows the fun and human sides of when we try to relax but things get crazy instead.
