    About this ebook

    The author of "The Smoker's Year Book," Oliver Herford, is an American writer, artist, and illustrator called "The American Oscar Wilde". The book presented here is a great reflection of his multisided talent. It consists of poems written on the part of the seasoned smoker, who finds delight in a pipe filled "with honeyed sweet" on any occasion. While others praise Saint Valentine, he bows to "Saint Nicotine," and he tanks his stars "for the solace of cigars." There is a separate poem dedicated to each month, describing how smoking decorates each season of the smoker's life.
