A Holiday in Bed And Other Sketches

Reproduction of the original, first published in 1892. Late 19th-century collection of humorous essays and sketches by J. M. Barrie, offering witty reflections on life, holidays, and human idiosyncrasy. The title piece outlines the prerequisites for enjoying a holiday in bed, chiefly the conviction that one must soon rise, which turns leisure into indulgence. Other sketches satirize the chaos of conventional vacations-lost luggage, tired children, gloomy seaside resorts-inviting readers to reconsider resting comfortably at home.
