E. Brock is a collection of humorous writings representing various American authors, likely compiled in the early 20th century. The anthology celebrates American humor and its diverse styles through the works of notable figures such as Mark Twain, Eugene Field, and Bill Nye, providing readers an insight into the wit and comedic traditions of America over time. At the start of the collection, the introduction outlines the compiler's intentions and emphasizes the importance of allowing the humorists showcased to speak for themselves, highlighting their unique contributions without interference. Subsequently, the opening pieces include whimsical anecdotes and delightful verses, such as Bill Nye’s reflective story about his dog Kosciusko, and James Whitcomb Riley’s charming poem on the pleasures of summer. The initial tone is light and playful, setting the stage for a rich exploration of humor that encapsulates quintessentially American experiences and characters.
