Mr. Punch's Country Life

Early twentieth century British joke book, with occasional illustrations, focusing on the rural life. Nothing here will make you chuckle, but you still will grin occasionally, and paging through it is instructive as to what sort of witticisms and stereotypes this culture valued. Lots of stuffy curates and lampooning of religious solemnity, confusions as the well-to-do and salt-of-the-earth fail to understand each other, and thick dialect stupidity of country bumpkins.
