Charles William Shirley Brooks (1816 – 1874) was an English journalist and novelist. Brooks contributed to many of the very best periodicals. He was a lead writer on the Illustrated London News, to which he furnished a weekly article under the name of Nothing in the Papers. He conducted the Literary Gazette 1858–9, and edited Home News after the death of Robert Bell in 1867. To a volume edited by Albert Smith in 1849, called Gavarni in London, he furnished three sketches — The Opera, The Coulisse, and The Foreign Gentleman; and in companionship with Angus B. Reach he published A Story with a Vengeance in 1852. In 1851 joined the staff of Punch (to which he contributed under the name Epicurus Rotundus) and in 1870 he succeeded Mark Lemon as editor. The Gordian Knot was first issued as a serial publication, the latter portion of which was interrupted. This second edition is much revised and improved by the author, and "may be termed ... a new novel." .
