The Faithless Parrot

by Charles H. Bennett

Overview

Charles Bennett (1829-67) was a talented illustrator who worked mainly as a caricaturist for periodicals such as the Comic Times and Comic News; he joined Punch in 1865, but died in poverty only two years later. He wrote stories for his own children and illustrated them with delightful comic details, often cutting his own wood blocks. The vivid illustrations in this perceptive story of love and betrayal were printed in line and colour blocks by Edmund Evans.

About the Author

Charles Henry Bennett (26 July 1828 – 2 April 1867) was a prolific Victorian illustrator who pioneered techniques in comic illustration.
As a child, Charles developed a passion for art, drawing for his inspiration the motley crowds he saw daily in the market. As an adult, Charles became part of the London bohemian scene, and was a founder member of the Savage Club, each member of which was "a working man in literature or art".
