Jocelyn Henry Clive 'Harry' Graham (23 December 1874 – 30 October 1936)
Graham is best remembered for his series of cheerfully cruel Ruthless Rhymes,
first published in 1898 under the pseudonym Col. D. Streamer, a reference to his
regiment. These were described by The Times, in an editorial that compared him
to Edward Lear, Lewis Carroll and W. S. Gilbert, as "that enchanted world where
there are no values nor standards of conduct or feeling, and where the plainest
sense is the plainest nonsense". The Oxford Dictionary of National Biography
also compares his verse with that of W. S. Gilbert and suggests that his prose
was an early influence on P. G. Wodehouse.
