John Thompson, Blockhead: And Companion Portraits is a book written by Louisa Parr and published in 1872. The book is a collection of short stories that revolve around the character of John Thompson, who is often referred to as a blockhead due to his lack of intelligence and social skills. The stories explore his daily life and interactions with various people, including his family, friends, and acquaintances. Each story is accompanied by a companion portrait, which provides a visual representation of the characters and settings described in the text. The book is a humorous and satirical commentary on the social norms and conventions of Victorian England, and provides a unique insight into the lives of ordinary people during that time period. Overall, John Thompson, Blockhead: And Companion Portraits is an entertaining and insightful read for anyone interested in Victorian literature and culture.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
