Clarke, William; Cruikshank, George.
THREE COURSES AND A DESSERT. The Decoration by George Cruikshank. Second Edition.
pp. 432 + 8 [Publisher's Advertisements] + Eight plates; and over 40 charming woodcut text illustrations by Cruikshank. Foxed. 8vo. 215 mm. Original leather backed boards binding, worn. A collection of humorous and satirical short stories with West Country, Irish and legal settings (the 'Three Courses') together with a more miscellaneous selection (the 'Dessert'). The book makes wonderfully entertaining reading, and the illustrations are frequently quite delightful. Though the author is un-named, he was readily identifiable in early 19th century England. William Clarke (1800-1838), was also the author of `The Boys' Own Book' and other various works of light literature, which obtained a considerable measure of popularity. He also brought out a humorous periodical, called `The Cigar' and he was for some time editor of the `Monthly Magazine' For the last three or four years of his life he devoted himself to an elaborate work on natural history. This does not appear to have been published, nor are any of his other writings extant. While working in his garden, near his house near Hampstead, he died of an apoplectic fit. **PRICE JUST REDUCED!
