Comedy Novel
A comic novel is a novel-length work of humorous fiction. Many well-known authors have written comic novels, including P. G. Wodehouse, Henry Fielding, Mark Twain, and John Kennedy Toole.

Lady Laura Troubridge
Laura Troubridge, Lady Troubridge, (née Gurney; 1867 – 8 July 1946) was a British novelist and etiquette writer. She wrote almost 60 novels and many short stories. Life Lady Troubridge (nee Gurney) was born in 1867 in London, England. She was the daughter of Charles Henry Gurney and Alice Marie Prinsep and granddaughter of Henry Thoby Prinsep and Sara Monckton (nee Pattle). Her father died when she was 11 years old, and her sister, Rachel who later married William Ward, 2nd Earl of Dudley, was 10. In 1897 her mother married a second time, to Colonel John Bourchier Stracey-Clitherow who in 1900 took up residence at Hotham Hall in East Riding, and later, after the death of his father in 1912, Boston Manor.
