(Oliver) A Little Book of Bores E-text prepared by Richard Tonsing, David Edwards, and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team (http://www.pgdp.net) from page images generously made available by Internet Archive (https://archive.org) "A Little Book of Bores" by Oliver Herford is a whimsical collection of humorous verses and illustrations written in the early 20th century. The book creatively portrays various types of "bores," exploring the eccentric habits and characteristics of different personalities through playful rhymes and whimsical artwork. Its light-hearted and satirical tone makes it a delightful read for those interested in light literature or social commentary. The content is structured alphabetically, with each letter representing a different type of bore, ranging from the Autograph Bore, who insists on collecting signatures from authors and celebrities, to the Zealot, whose fervent appeals can feel relentlessly nagging. Each verse captures the essence of the character while employing clever rhymes that add a humorous flair. Herford's sharp wit not only entertains but also offers a playful critique of social interactions, making it an enjoyable read that resonates with anyone who has encountered these archetypical personalities in real life.
