Summary

"Punch, or the London Charivari, Volume 156, Jan. 1, 1919" by Various is a collection of funny writings and pictures that look at what life was like in England right after World War One. Using jokes and satire, the book shows us how people felt about big changes in society, government, and everyday things like jobs and how people acted. It uses smart poems, drawings and stories to make fun of everything from important leaders like President Wilson to the problems that regular people faced when soldiers came home and the country tried to get back to normal; readers can laugh at how weird life can be, but also think about the serious stuff that happened after the war.
