Brayhard: The Strange Adventures of One Ass and Seven Companions

Edmund Downey (1856-1937) was a publisher and novelist, writing as F. M. Allen. "For humour of the kind which is not to be classified or described, the humour of paradox, shrewdness, grave absurdity, quaintness, and extravagance, [F. M. Allen] has no equal, indeed no competitor." Henry (Harry) Furniss (1854-1925) was an English artist and illustrator, best known for his political caricatures and for illustrating many books, including Lewis Carroll's Sylvia and Bruno and the complete works of Charles Dickens and William Makepeace Thackeray.
