"John Bull, Junior; or, French as She is Traduced" by Max O'Rell is a humorous literary work written in the late 19th century. The book explores cultural differences between the French and the British, framed through the experiences of a Frenchman navigating life in England.

The opening of the book introduces the author's background as a Frenchman who has moved to England, reflecting on his early life, aspirations, and the distinctive characteristics of English schoolboys. It recounts his youthful infatuations and ambitions to become an artist, alongside amusing anecdotes about his experiences with theater and the military. The author sets the tone for the book by expressing both fondness and bemusement at the cultural peculiarities he encounters, establishing a humorous foundation for the exploration of Franco-British relationships that will unfold throughout the narrative.
