Pierce Egan (1772-1849) was born near London and lived in the area
his whole life. He was a famous sports reporter and writer on
popular culture. His first book, Boxiana, was a collection of
articles about boxing. It was a huge success and established Egan's
reputation for wit and sporting knowledge. He is probably best
remembered today as the creator of Corinthian Tom and Jerry
Hawthorn ('Tom and Jerry'). Published in 1821 and beautifully
illustrated by the Cruikshank brothers, this book is the original
collection of Tom and Jerry's riotous adventures through Regency
London. Its satirical humour and trademark use of current slang
made it an overnight success, spawning many imitators and appearing
in numerous editions. It was translated into French and inspired a
number of successful stage plays that delighted audiences on both
sides of the Atlantic. More recently, in 2006, an adaptation
appeared on BBC Radio.
