CONTENTS Mrs. Perkins’s Ball Our Street Doctor Birch and His Young Friends The Kickleburys on the Rhine The Rose and the Ring William Makepeace Thackeray (18 July 1811 - 24 December 1863) was an English novelist of the 19th century. He was famous for his satirical works, particularly Vanity Fair, a panoramic portrait of English society. Thackeray’s The Christmas Books of Mr. M. A. Titmarsh (1847-55) was published under his familiar pen name, M.A. Titmarsh. It is an anthology of five short novels, each of which criticises English nobility. It includes The Kickleburys on the Rhine, in which the author shares a steamer with an upper-class family. It also contains Mrs. Perkin’s Ball, Our Street, Dr. Birch and His Young Friends, and The Rose and the Ring, a satirical story dealing with the lives and fates of four royal cousins.
