Edmund Clerihew Bentley was born July 10, 1875. A schoolmate of Chesterton, he created while still in school the humorous verse form that bears his name, the clerihew. Chesterton wrote some clerihews, too, but his main connection with clerihews consists of his illustrations for some of Bentley's.
In honor of Bentley, a clerihew:
E. C. Bentley
evidently
knew just what to do
with a clerihew.
