About this book

The Laughing Willow is a 1918 collection of comic verse and drawings by Oliver Herford (1860-1935), the American humorist and illustrator whose epigrams and small gift books made him one of the best-known wits of early twentieth-century New York. The collection gathers Herford's light verse on the follies of the day, accompanied by his characteristic pen-and-ink illustrations, with much of the material touched by the First World War then in progress, treated in his mock-solemn satirical manner. Herford was a fixture of the Players Club and the American magazine world, contributing to Life, Punch, and Harper's, and his throwaway sayings were quoted as widely as his books. The Laughing Willow shows his mature style in the war years.
