Publisher Description Remembered for both his satirical and serious work, Robert Barnabas Brough (1828-60) was a playwright, journalist, poet and founder member of the Savage Club. Built around a series of inspired etchings by the celebrated artist George Cruikshank (1792-1878), this is a delightful fictional biography, from authentic sources, of that most colourful of Shakespeares characters. We hear how our hero was descended from the great Saxon leader Hundwulf Falstaff, how the name is a corruption of False-thief, of his adventures with his beloved Prince Hal, and of Christmas 1412 with the Whittington family. Henry Vs terrible rejection of him - I know thee not, old man - is touchingly depicted, as are the episode of the laundry basket and other misadventures at Windsor, along with his sad death at the Boars Head in 1415. First published in 1858, this book is a must-read for every lover of this larger-than-life figure. Author Biography Charles Dickens (1812-1870) was 12 years old when he was sent to work in a shoe polish factory because his father had been imprisoned for debt. One of his first successes as an author, Dickens soon followed "Oliver Twist" (1838) with such classics as "David Copperfield" (1849) and "A Tale of Two Cities" (1859). George Cruikshank (1792-1878) was a noted caricaturist and provided illustrations for the original edition of "Oliver Twist," Details ISBN 1108057330 ISBN-13 9781108057332 Title The Life of Sir John Falstaff Author Robert Barnabas Brough Format Paperback Year 2013 Pages 258 Publisher Cambridge University Press GE_Item_ID:52536178; About Us Grand Eagle Retail is the ideal place for all your shopping needs!
