Oliver Herford

“ In Hades, he’ll say,
“Well, really it isn’t so bad.”

32P’s a Poetical bore
Who recites his own things by the score.
The ladies, poor dears,
Are all moved to tears,
While strong men are moved—to the door. ”

“ Queen—“This is one of the most delightfully whimsical collections of sketches with both pen and pencil which are always so dear to the hearts of children. Mr. Herford’s rhymes are full of that simple fun which it requires no effort to appreciate, and many of them are irresistibly ridiculous; while his graceful sketches show a high sense of genuine humour.”
