The verses and pictures in this book first appeared in 'Punch' magazine. Edward Verrall Lucas, CH (11/12 June 1868 - 26 June 1938) was an English humourist, essayist, playwright, biographer and publisher. Born to a Quaker family on the fringes of London, Lucas began work at the age of sixteen, apprenticed to a bookseller. After that he turned to journalism, and worked on a local paper in Brighton and then on a London evening paper. He was commissioned to write a biography of Bernard Barton, the Quaker poet. This led to further commissions, including the editing of the works of Charles Lamb. Lucas joined the staff of the humorous magazine Punch in 1904, and remained there for the rest of his life. He was a prolific writer, most celebrated for his short essays, but he also produced verses, novels and plays. From 1908 to 1924 Lucas combined his work as a writer with that of publisher's reader for Methuen and Co. In 1924 he was appointed chairman of the company. In 1904, while in the middle of his work on Lamb, he joined the staff of Punch, remaining there for more than thirty years. Lucas introduced his Punch colleague A A Milne to the illustrator E H Shepard with whom Milne collaborated on two collections of verse and the two Winnie-the-Pooh books. It is little wonder therefore that Lucas should combine his talents with Shepard's on several books for children and this satirical look at the counties and people of the English counties. This book reinforces the fact that Shepard was one of our finest draughtsmen when it came to pen and ink illustration. Ref Z1.
