Within these pages, many forgotten figures of fun (such as Ally Sloper, Chokee Bill, Airy Alf, and Bouncing Billy) come alive once again, along with such notorious episodes as the assault on the Albert Memorial by the Balls Pond Banditti and the capture of Pretoria by Weary Willie and Tired Tim.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book is a re-issue of the original publication from 1976, and the language used reflects the time period of its origin.
