Pain, Barry: The Diary of a Baby. v1. 18 Dec 2022
“This alleged diary is set down as being ‘a free record of the unconscious thought of Rosalys Ysolde Smith, aged one year.’ … the narrative is warranted to kill any attack of the blues …” (a review contemporary to the first edition) Miss Rosalys is, of course, a naive infant, becoming acquainted with her new world, but completely capable of pronouncements worthy of a snobbish middle-aged socialite. You might never look at a toddler in the same way again. ============= Barry Eric Odell Pain (28 Sep. 1864 – 05 May 1928) was an English journalist, poet, humorist and writer. During his lifetime, he was perhaps best known as a writer of parody and lightly humorous stories, but now is also noted for his tales touched with fantasy, horror, and the supernatural. He also wrote stories of mystery and suspense. His humor has been characterized by some modern critics as “a surreal forerunner to Monty Python.” ============= “The Diary of a Baby” was first serialized in The Delineator magazine Sep. – Dec. 1906; published in hardback in 1907.
