Summary

"Punch, or the London Charivari, Volume 101, September 19, 1891" by various authors, is a witty, old-time magazine that makes fun of life back in the late 1800s. Full of funny stories, drawings, poems, and thoughts, it shows what people in England cared about then, like how they acted, what they wore, and who was better than them. Through comical back-and-forths between imagined people, jokes about trips to far-off places, and mocking the big-wigs of the day, the book paints a clear picture of the past for us, making us laugh at older times with a modern eye. Discussions of cricket and golf, and what was hip and cool, demonstrate the lighthearted but critical view that made "Punch" famous.
