Summary: "Chats in the Book-room" by Horace N. Pym is a collection of informal essays written in the late 19th century. The text presents a series of charming discussions about literature, art, and personal anecdotes, reflecting the cultural milieu of the time. Through these chats, the author engages with various themes and figures from the literary world, interspersed with humor and insight. The opening of the work introduces readers to the format of the chats, with a focus on the late Richard Corney Grain, a beloved figure known for his generosity and talent in entertaining children and those in hospitals. The first chat reminisces about Grain's ability to evoke both joy and pathos through his performances, setting the tone for the blend of personal reflection and literary commentary that follows. Subsequent sections promise a variety of discussions that include art auctions, notable literary figures, and anecdotes from travels and friendships, creating a tapestry of experiences and cultural observations from the author’s life.
