A Story With a Vengeance: Or How Many Joints May Go to a Tale; Inscribed to the Greater Number of Railway Travellers, and Dedicated to the Rest (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
A witty, fast-paced satire of railway travel, the press, and the theatre world.
This is a humorous look at a carriage of travelers who swap news, gossip, and opinions as they hurry along. The scene blends mock newspaper chatter with tidy social hints, playing with how stories travel and who shapes them. It also moves between a bustling London theatre and the people who run and critique it, offering a playful mix of character sketches, theatrical insider jokes, and light social satire.
Across the pages, you’ll meet a cast of witty critics, ambitious managers, and glamorous performers, all stepping through a world where publicity, egos, and ambition collide. The text balances lively dialogue with pointed observation, inviting readers to enjoy the casual cleverness and brisk plotting that make this a lively, engaging read.- A train-car tale that lampoons newspapers, manners, and the idle chatter of fashionable society.
- A behind-the-scenes look at a theatre and its eccentric, sometimes quarrelsome characters.
- Snappy exchanges, social humor, and light parody of literary and stage worlds.
- A narrative that shifts between travel satire and stage satire, with memorable, larger-than-life personalities.
