Dad in Politics, 'Steele Rudd' , sequence short story humour

'Dad in Politics ' consists of eleven stories involving Dad Rudd's career as the Member for Eton, (Chapters I-XI). The stories involving Dad as the Member for Eton (the 'Dad in Politics' stories) initially appeared as eight individual stories in Steele Rudd's Magazine in 1904-1905. When published in book form in 1908, the order in which the stories originally appeared was retained, however a number of changes were made to the format. Some stories were divided into two or more chapters, some story titles were added or altered, and a number of minor changes were also made to the text.
