Baboo Jabberjee, B.A.

Description

One of the entertaining stories of a British humorist nudging laughter at his fellows, or with all races’ responses to anyone from an unalike upbringing. A set of undertakings of a highly knowledgeable foreigner in London which was firstly seen weekly in Punch, at times with illustrations, coping with the hardships of completely appreciating a diverse culture.

The protagonist’s excellent English is similar to a few of the citations from My Fair Lady “His English is too good, he said, “that clearly indicates that he is Foreign. Whereas other people are instructed in their native language English people aren’t.”

Thomas Anstey Guthrie was a British author and journalist, who wrote his humor stories with his pen name F. Anstey.

He was from Kensington, London, to Augusta Amherst Austen, an organist and composer, and Thomas Anstey Guthrie. He attended the King’s College School and at Trinity Hall, Cambridge, and became a lawyer. But his popularity of his story Vice Versa with its twists and turns of the swap of a father for his schoolboy son, has made him a comedian of a genuine kind. He then wrote a non-comical story, The Giant’s Robe; but he learned, and again with The Pariah, that it was not as a staid writer but as a comedian that the people averred on considering him.

From there, his success was more elaborated by The Black Poodle, The Tinted Venus, A Fallen Idol, and all other novels. He became a distinguished member of the staff of Punch magazine, in which his popular belief and his comical mockery of a declaimer’s stock-piece, Burglar Bill, &c. signify his finest story. His famous humor The Man from Blankleys, from a tale that was firstly shown in Punch, was first staged at the Prince of Wales Theatre, in London. He wrote Only Toys in 1903 and Salted Almonds in 1906.
