The Shuttlecock Papers: A Book For An Idle Hour is a book written by J. Ashby-Sterry and published in 1873. The book is a collection of humorous and satirical essays, stories, and poems that were written to entertain readers during their leisure time.

The book is divided into several sections, each of which contains a variety of pieces that cover a range of topics, including politics, society, and culture. The writing is witty and clever, and the author uses irony and sarcasm to poke fun at the absurdities of Victorian life. Overall, The Shuttlecock Papers is a delightful read that offers a glimpse into the humor and wit of the Victorian era.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
