Harry Graham Bücher
Harry Graham wurde zunächst für seine 'Ruthless Rhymes for Heartless Homes' bekannt, eine Sammlung von Versen, die in einer surrealen Welt ohne Werte oder emotionale Standards verloren gehen, in der gesunder Menschenverstand zu purem Unsinn wird. Seine Werke, oft von ihm selbst geschrieben und illustriert, werden mit denen von Edward Lear, Lewis Carroll und W. S. Gilbert verglichen. Obwohl er als Offizier und Abenteurer begann, wurde das Schreiben zu seiner wahren Berufung. Später widmete er sich auch anderen Genres, darunter populäre Belletristik und Geschichte, und schrieb sogar Liedtexte für erfolgreiche Operetten, was seine Vielseitigkeit unter Beweis stellte. Sein Humor und sein einzigartiger Schreibstil beeinflussten nachfolgende Generationen britischer Humoristen.
