Happy Thoughts

Happy Thoughts is a collection of humorous essays and sketches written by Francis Cowley Burnand, a British playwright, humorist, and editor. The book was first published in 1896 and contains a series of witty observations and amusing anecdotes on a wide range of topics, from social etiquette and marriage to politics and the absurdities of everyday life. Burnand's writing is characterized by his clever wordplay, satirical wit, and irreverent humor, which often pokes fun at the conventions and pretensions of Victorian society. His essays are filled with amusing characters, such as the pompous politician or the foppish dandy, and his observations on human behavior are both insightful and hilarious.Despite its age, Happy Thoughts remains a delightful and entertaining read, offering a window into the world of Victorian humor and satire. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of comedy and the evolution of British humor.One Of The Great Almost Forgotten Works Of English Humor By A Contributor To Punch.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
