Horse Laughs (1891)

Adam Green - September 13, 2011 in horse riding, horses, hunting, jokes, non-article, texts

Horse laughs, by Chas. H. Marshall; 1891; Bemrose & Sons, London.

Remarkably strange little book on account of much of the humour being lost over the passage of time – often resulting in surreal, if not somewhat disconcerting, little scenes.
