Summary

"Punch, or the London Charivari, Volume 101, November 14, 1891" by Various is a collection of satirical pieces that paints a funny picture of Victorian society. Through witty articles, images, and fictional letters, it makes light of the big shots and strange habits of the time. One story tells of Hermione Maybloom, a pretty social butterfly whose selfish ways lead to her losing her shine and hurting the people around her, which shows how fame can be empty and social standing doesn't last. The book is meant to be both funny and thought-provoking, giving readers a look into what life was like back then with a humorous twist.
