About the author

James L. (James Lauren) Ford

1854–1928

A witty American humorist and critic, he spent years at the old New York Herald and turned his sharp eye on books, theater, and literary life. His stories and essays capture the bustling magazine world of the late 19th and early 20th centuries with dry, knowing charm.
