Description
Ring Lardner was one of the most prolific humorists of the early 20th century. While he was most famous for the frequent appearances of his short fiction in numerous popular magazines of the era, he was also a prolific writer of poetry. His daily column for the Chicago Tribune entitled “In the Wake of the News” was generally a sports news column, but oftentimes served as a platform to publish his poetry. Many of his more sentimental poems from this column—the ones written about his children—would later be compiled in Bib Ballads. Lardner’s second poetry compilation, Regular Fellows I Have Met, is a series of nearly 200 poems about Lardner’s friends and...

Description
The arrogant, proud, and mostly illiterate Jack Keefe of Bedford, Indiana had already established a career pitching for the minor league baseball club in Terre Haute. His strong pitching arm attracted the attention of Chicago White Sox owner Charles Comiskey and before he knew it, Keefe had been signed to play for the team. Through the ups and downs of his life, from his baseball career, to his marriage and family, to his service in World War I and his eventual return to baseball, Jack Keefe documents everything in a series of letters to his old pal back home, Al Blanchard.
Behind Keefe’s rube-like dialect, these stories offer a glimpse at significant figures and moments in the era’s baseball culture. Jack faces off against legends like...

Description
In 1917, Ring Lardner was sent on assignment as a war correspondent on the French front for a series of reports for Collier’s magazine. Appearing in serialized format in the magazine before its eventual publication as a book, My Four Weeks in France recalls Lardner’s experiences in his new wartime role.
Being a humorist and a satirist, it would have been inconsistent with his typical format to write harrowing stories about the horrors of combat. For this reason, this book instead consists primarily of harrowing stories of wartime government bureaucracy. Despite his efforts to get up to the front lines to write some legitimate war reportage, Lardner found himself...

Description
Published in The Saturday Evening Post between 1916 and 1917, the stories that make up Gullible’s Travels follow the comical misadventures of a long-suffering husband and his aspiring socialite wife. The unnamed protagonists and their hapless attempts to climb the social ladder serve as a canvas for Ring Lardner to satirize marriage, social dynamics, and the newly emerging middle class of the late 1910s.
In 1917, the first five stories about the unnamed narrator and his “Missus” were compiled in book form as Gullible’s Travels, Etc. This Standard Ebooks edition also includes a later sixth story, “A Friendly Game,” which didn’t make it to print until...
