Henry Cockton Knihy
Tento anglický romanopisec sa preslávil svojím humorným a satirickým prístupom k zobrazovaniu viktoriánskej spoločnosti. Jeho diela sa často zameriavali na excentrické postavy a ich dobrodružstvá, pričom majstrovsky využíval jazyk na vytvorenie živých a nezabudnuteľných scén. Čitatelia oceňovali jeho schopnosť preniknúť do spoločenských konvencií svojej doby s ostrovtipom a iróniou, čo z jeho prózy robí nielen zábavné, ale aj bystré pozorovanie ľudskej povahy.
