About the Author

John Kendrick Bangs (1862 - 1922) was an American author, humorist, editor and satirist. He was born in Yonkers, New York. His father Francis Nehemiah Bangs was a lawyer in New York City, as was his brother, Francis S. Bangs. He went to Columbia College from 1880 to 1883 where he became editor of Columbia's literary magazine, Acta Columbia and contributed short anonymous pieces to humor magazines. After graduation in 1883 with a Bachelor of Philosophy degree in Political Science, Bangs entered Columbia Law School but left in 1884 to become Associate Editor of Life under Edward S. Martin. Bangs contributed many articles and poems to the magazine between 1884 and 1888. During this period, Bangs published his first books.

Editorial Reviews

"Bangs must have had a load of fun writing this and must have had to end it just to bring what could have been an endless set of stories."

"Fantastic book! It's eccentric humour had me chuckling all through. A good classic."

"My favorite chapter is VII "An Important Decision" which includes a funny court case concerning Cerberus, one dog or three?"
