Book Overview

Pegasus Resaddled is a book written by Henry Cholmondeley Pennell and first published in 1877. The book is a collection of humorous essays and satirical pieces that poke fun at various aspects of Victorian society, including politics, religion, and social norms. The title of the book is a play on words, referring to the Greek mythological creature Pegasus, which is typically depicted as a winged horse, and the idea of ""resaddling"" or reining in something that has become unruly or out of control. Throughout the book, Pennell uses his sharp wit and clever wordplay to expose the absurdities and contradictions of Victorian life, offering a humorous and often irreverent perspective on the world around him. The essays in Pegasus Resaddled are written in a light and engaging style, making them accessible to a wide range of readers.
