Ginx's Baby: His Birth and Other Misfortunes; a Satire

Zusatztext

Ginx's Baby is the story of hardworking Mr. and Mrs. Ginx, who had the misfortune of supporting 12 children with their meager incomes. Excerpt: "Ginx has been waiting through three chapters to explain his truculence upon the birth of his twelfth child. Much explanation is not necessary. When he looked round his nest and saw the many open mouths about him, he might well be appalled to have another added to them. His children were not chameleons, yet they were already forced to be content with a proportion of air for their food. And even the air was bad. They were pallid and pinched."
