Illustrated throughout by Kenny Meadows. Meadow's was a British caricaturist and illustrator. He is perhaps best known for his contributions to the successful humourous periodical, Punch. With additional notes and essay by Barry Cornwall. Barry Cornwall was the pseudonym of the English poet Bryan Waller Procter. A significant literary figure, both Thackeray's 'Vanity Fair' and Wilkie Collins's 'The Woman in White' were dedicated to B. W. Procter.
