Great Drawings and Illustrations from Punch, 1841-1901: 192 Works by Leech, Keene, Du Maurier, May and 21 Others.
Published in Paperback by Dover Pubns (January, 1981)
Average review score: 

The artists of "Punch" tell the story of Victorian England"Punch," also known as "The London Charivari" began as an imitation of the French satirical periodical "L'Assiette au Beurre" and became a British institution. This volume, edited by Stanley Appelbaum and Richard Kelly, reproduces 192 choice illustrations by over two-dozen staff and guest artists from the first half-century of the magazine's history. Obviously 1841-1901 is basically the reign of Queen Victoria, which means artists like "Alfred Crowquil", George du Maurier, Linley Sambourne, and Sir John Tenniel. Most of the drawings, which are arranged alphabetically by artist, were engraved on wood by "Punch" graver Joseph Swain. They were chosen primarily for their graphic quality, although Victorian society, politics, personalities, and fashion are portrayed as well. The drawings are dated along with an introduction and the volume begins with biographical entries about the artist. Several drawings have accompanying scraps of verse or satirical commentary. You will also find the familiar faces of Mr. Punch along with John Bull (and his American counterpart Brother Jonathan). When it comes to capturing the culture and politics of Victorian England, there is nothing superior to "Punch." True, the specific historical references will be lost on most of us, but reading between the lines you will still understand the gist of the barbs. There are more subtleties here than we find with contemporary American editorial cartoons, but that just underscores the significant differences in time and place. Whether you are a student of the Age of Victoria in English history or a fan of magazine illustrations, this collection of "Punch" drawings and illustrations.

The Ghost of Craven Cove (Nancy Drew, No 92)
Published in Paperback by Minstrel Books (December, 1989)
And in fitting with the title of this book, it seems that Robin Fisher has gone too far with her steady boyfriend (Calvin) and fears she may be pregnant, which puts strain on their relationship since Robin won't tell him what's wrong. And Brittany, being the sneaky gossip that she is, finds out about Robin's secret (though she's not certain if it's Robin who is pregnant or one of her friends) and spreads it around River Heights High.
I thought this was a somewhat risque topic, considering it's written under Carolyn Keene's name. The situation was handled quite well, though, especially with some help from Robin's loyal friends, who not only accompany her to the ob-gyn clinic, but take some of the heat off her when the rumors start going around school. Overall, this is a good addition to the River Heights series.
