Topsyâ s extensive social life, her adventures in and out of the House of Commons (and her audacious attempts to legislate for the Enjoyment of the People), and her wartime activity as the mother of twins, were recorded faithfully by the great comic writer A P Herbert.
A P Herbert (1890-1971) was one of Britain’s greatest comic writers, who specialised in writing for Punch, where the Topsy letters first appeared. He had a long career as a Member of Parliament and lawyer, during which he was a savage critic of obsolete British laws.
