Peeps at People Being Certain Papers from the Writings of Anne Warrington Witherup

"Peeps at People" by John Kendrick Bangs is a series of funny observations made in the late 1800s. Through the sharp eyes of Anne Warrington Witherup, the book shares amusing fake interviews with lots of famous characters showing satire and comments on community. The stories hilariously explore famous and artistic people during the time of Bangs. Starting with the humorous search for polar explorer Fridtjof Nansen, the narrator embarks on a mission to interview important people. Using awkward events, full of funny talks and confusion, the portrayal of Nansen's cold attitude catches his celebrity status. The journey sets the scene for jokes and funny looks into the lives of people such as Hall Caine and Emperor William, focusing on the comedy of chasing after famous characters.
