Our Street is a collection of short stories written by William Makepeace Thackeray, originally published in 1848. The stories are set in a fictional London neighborhood and depict the lives of the working-class residents who inhabit it. Thackeray's writing is witty and satirical, with a keen eye for detail and a deep understanding of human nature. The stories touch on a variety of themes, including poverty, social class, love, and family. Through his characters, Thackeray offers a glimpse into the realities of life in Victorian England, highlighting both the struggles and the joys of everyday existence. Overall, Our Street is a vivid and engaging portrayal of a bygone era, and a testament to Thackeray's skill as a storyteller.It is as good as a coronation to see him and Mrs. Bumpsher go to Court. I wonder the carriage can hold them both. On those days Mrs. Bumpsher holds her own drawing-room before her Majesty's; and we are invited to come and see her sitting in state, upon the largest sofa in her rooms. She has need of a stout one, I promise you. Her very feathers must weigh something considerable. The diamonds on her stomacher would embroider a full-sized carpet-bag.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
