When it was first published in 1950 The Decline and Fall of Almost Everybody was on the New York Times best-seller list for four months. An hysterically funny (yet historically accurate) romp through world history by a great American humourist and raconteur.
About the Author: Will Cuppy was an American humorist and literary critic, known for his satirical books about nature and historical figures. For 23 years he wrote a popular column in the New York Herald Tribune, as well as articles for the New York Times. His books included: How To Tell Your Friends from the Apes and How to Attract the Wombat. He sadly died in 1949, leaving many fans of his work behind him.
