关于作者
Herbert Jenkins (1876–1923) was an English author best remembered for his comedic character Mr. Joseph Bindle, who became synonymous with Jenkins’ wit and vivid character portrayal. Jenkins’ literary style often centered on humor and satire, with a distinctively British flavor that endeared him to a wide readership in the early 20th century. His books offered a humorous reflection on the trials and tribulations of the lower-middle-class London life. ‘The Bindles on the Rocks’ is one amongst the series that features the misadventures of the cigar-smoking, irreverent, and resolutely cheerful furniture remover, Joseph Bindle. The character epitomized the cheerful Cockney stereotype, finding humor in the mundane and often exasperating circumstances of domestic life, which endeared him to readers and solidified Jenkins’ place in the literary canon of humorists. Before his successful writing career, Jenkins had diverse experiences, including journalism and publishing. His work in publishing contributed to his understanding of the literary market—knowledge he later applied to his own writing career. Despite his death nearly a century ago, Jenkins’s works have enduring popularity, and his distinctive blend of humor and character study continues to be appreciated by scholars and casual readers alike.
