Synopsis
A witty collection of Winthrop Mackworth Praed’s early prose, freshly gathered from his Etonian writings.
This edition showcases Praed’s bright, playful voice and his gift for turning everyday scenes into thoughtful, humorous sketches.
With an introduction by Henry Morley and a framing by Sir George Young, the volume presents Praed as a lively observer of youth, society, and ideas. The pieces blend light satire with genuine warmth, offering a window into the humor and curiosity that shaped his later verse.What you’ll experience
- Amusing character sketches and social observations that sparkle with wit
- Breezy essays on literature, religion, and ancient ideas, written with accessible charm
- Vivid scenes and deft dialogue that capture schoolboy life and its wider world
- Moments of reflection that mix playfulness with a thoughtful, humane view of human foibles
