"Baboo Jabberjee, B.A." by F. Anstey is a humorous novel written in the late 19th century. The book chronicles the misadventures and observations of its main character, Baboo Hurry Bungsho Jabberjee, a freshly graduated Indian student navigating life in England while pursuing a career in law. Blending wit and satire, it explores themes of cultural clash, identity, and societal norms through the eyes of this amusingly earnest protagonist. At the start of the novel, Baboo Jabberjee introduces himself through a comically formal letter to the editor of "Punch", expressing his eagerness to contribute to the publication. He shares his experiences as a native gentleman in England, revealing the challenges he faces, such as societal prejudice and misunderstandings in social interactions. His observations are marked by a mix of humor and self-reflection as he navigates both the academic world and the complexities of British societal customs, setting a tone for the lighthearted yet incisive commentary that characterizes the rest of his story.

Reading ease score: 51.8 (10th to 12th grade). Somewhat difficult to read.
