The Cauliflower

By Arthur Alger Crozier

Book Overview

A wry, generous sketchbook of daily life from a vanished Edwardian England. The Cauliflower gathers a sparkling set of short stories that tease out the small, sharp slices of modern life with wit and humour. This early twentieth century fiction collection offers gentle social satire wrapped in warm humanity: everyday life vignettes that sparkle with character, a humour anthology that prefers observant detail to grand gestures. For classic literature fans and public domain readers alike, the book reads as a compact tour of a British small town and its inhabitants, where charm and irony mingle in effortless prose. Its humour is humane, its social commentary crisp, and its shapes of scene and conversation feel timelessly alive. The work carries notable literary history as part of the Gutenberg classics tradition-a window into how British humour writers described the quirks of ordinary life with grace and gusto. Its places, people, and manners illuminate a world that shaped popular fiction and public taste, making it an essential bridge between past and present. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions, The Cauliflower is restored for today's and future generations. It is more than a reprint-it's a collector's item and a cultural treasure, inviting casual readers and discerning collectors to reexperience a shareable, well-crafted slice of Edwardian England.
