Book Overview

The Barber's Chair And The Hedgehog Letters is a collection of humorous essays and letters written by Douglas Jerrold, a prominent English playwright, journalist, and satirist of the 19th century. The book is divided into two parts, with the first part containing a series of witty and entertaining essays on various topics such as politics, society, and human nature. The second part of the book consists of a series of letters written by Jerrold to his friend, the editor of a literary magazine, under the pseudonym ""The Hedgehog"". These letters are written in a humorous and satirical style, and often poke fun at the literary and intellectual elite of the time. The book is a classic example of Victorian humor and satire, and provides a fascinating insight into the social and cultural attitudes of the era.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
