"We always maintain that we got the best of the bargain as we don't have to work and can eat what we like without ill effects."
This title is from the 12-volume "Thacker's Dumpy Books" set, an imitator of the late 19th-early 20th-century "Dumpy Books" published by Grant Richards. The series may have arisen in an effort to cultivate the nostalgia of its English colonial audience living abroad in India.
