Description

The success of Harry Lorrequer was the reason for writing Charles O'Malley.

That I myself was in no wise prepared for the favor the public bestowed on, my first attempt is easily enough understood.

The ease with which I strung my stories together, - and in reality the Confessions of Harry Lorrequer are little other than a note-book of absurd and laughable incidents, - led me to believe that I could draw on this vein of composition without any limit whatever.

I felt, or thought I felt, an inexhaustible store of fun and buoyancy within me, and I began to have a misty, half-confused impression that Englishmen generally labored under a sad-colored temperament, took depressing views of life, and were proportionately grateful to any one who would rally them even passingly out of their despondency, and give them a laugh without much trouble for going in search of it.
