By Joseph Ashby-Sterry

Book Overview

""Cucumber Chronicles: A Book To Be Taken In Slices"" is a collection of humorous and satirical essays written by Joseph Ashby-Sterry. The book is divided into several sections, each of which contains a series of short pieces that poke fun at various aspects of Victorian society. The essays cover a wide range of topics, from fashion and etiquette to politics and literature. The title of the book is a reference to the cucumber, which was considered a symbol of refinement and elegance during the Victorian era. Ashby-Sterry uses this symbol to satirize the excesses and pretensions of the upper classes. The writing style is witty and irreverent, and the book is sure to delight readers who enjoy a good dose of humor and satire.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
