Cobb, Irvin S.: Notions. v1. 14 Aug 2018
Herein, Cobb shares his opinions on some of the follies and foibles of mankind, ranging from holiday observances to restaurant dining, from boyhood pranks to literary practices, and points between. All are served up with a hearty helping of humor.
* * * * Irvin Shrewsbury Cobb (June 23, 1876 – March 11, 1944) was an American author, humorist, editor, and columnist from Paducah, Kentucky who relocated to New York in 1904 for the remainder of his life, writing for the New York World, The Saturday Evening Post, Cosmopolitan, and other newspapers and magazines. Cobb wrote more than 300 short stories and 60 books (most of these being collections of his stories and articles). Some of his works were adapted for film. He was one of America’s most popular humorists during the first third of the twentieth century. =================================== The contents of this book first appeared 1911–1921 in various magazines.
