Eccentric Tales

Eccentric Tales: In Verse is a collection of humorous and satirical poems written by George Colman and published in 1812. The book contains a series of witty and entertaining tales that poke fun at various aspects of society, ranging from politics and religion to fashion and social etiquette. Each poem is written in rhyming couplets and features a cast of eccentric characters, such as a pompous politician, a foppish dandy, and a vain beauty. Through these characters, Colman offers a lighthearted critique of the absurdities and follies of his time. The book is a delightful read for anyone who enjoys witty and whimsical poetry, and offers a fascinating glimpse into the social and cultural landscape of early 19th-century England.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
