The Remarkable Rocket is remarkable, because although we no longer have as many fairy stories as the Victorians, so it's more difficult to appreciate his mockery of the form, and we don't have as much casual exposure to streamside wildlife as they probably did, those are all ancillary points and his main effort* continues to shine through. (is the opposite of DomGPT RanGPT or SubGPT?) * tho judging from the commentary at https://www.eastoftheweb.com/short-stories/UBooks/RemRoc.shtml https://www.eastoftheweb.com/short-stories/UBooks/RemRoc.sht... comedies of manners, despite my prior belief in their accessibility, may be much more on the accuracy side and less on the entertainment.
