Publisher's Synopsis

The Barber's Chair And The Hedgehog Letters is a collection of humorous essays and letters written by Douglas Jerrold, a prominent English playwright, journalist, and satirist of the 19th century. The book is divided into two parts, with the first part containing a series of witty and entertaining essays on various topics such as politics, society, and human nature. The second part of the book consists of a series of letters written by Jerrold to his friend, the editor of a literary magazine, under the pseudonym ""The Hedgehog"". These letters are written in a humorous and satirical style, and often poke fun at the literary and intellectual elite of the time. The book is a classic example of Victorian humor and satire, and provides a fascinating insight into the social and cultural attitudes of the era.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
