Harry Graham

    Harry Graham kreeg aanvankelijk erkenning voor zijn 'Ruthless Rhymes for Heartless Homes', een verzameling verzen die verloren gaan in een surrealistische wereld zonder waarden of emotionele normen, waar gezond verstand pure nonsens wordt. Zijn werken, vaak door hemzelf geschreven en geïllustreerd, worden vergeleken met die van Edward Lear, Lewis Carroll en W. S. Gilbert. Hoewel hij begon als militair officier en avonturier, werd schrijven zijn ware roeping. Later verkende hij andere genres, waaronder populaire fictie en geschiedenis, en schreef hij zelfs teksten voor succesvolle operettes, waarmee hij zijn veelzijdigheid toonde. Zijn humor en unieke schrijfstijl beïnvloedden latere generaties Britse humoristen.
