Credits: Produced by David Widger
Summary: "Sketches by Seymour — Volume 03" by Robert Seymour is a collection of humorous sketches written during the early 19th century, likely around the Victorian era. The book primarily focuses on the delightful escapades and character observations of various groups in society, often using satire to highlight their quirks and foibles, particularly centered around hobbies such as fishing and shooting. In the sketches, Seymour presents a series of narratives involving eccentric characters and their amusing predicaments. For instance, in “The Jolly Anglers,” two inebriated fishermen wake to find their possessions stolen after a day of fishing, highlighting themes of folly and naivety. Other sketches, like those of Old Foozle, depict elderly gentlemen attempting to engage in pursuits ill-suited to their age, while the "Crack-Shots" sketches parody sporting clubs filled with pompous members embellishing their hunting exploits. Through light-hearted dialogue and situational humor, Seymour expertly captures the whimsical nature of English society during his time, making the book a charming read that entertains while providing social commentary.
