Hard Cover. Condition: Near Fine. Near Fine. 4th Printing. 4th printing (Ford-Smith, Folio 76 #1140). Includes publisher's slipcase. Fine book in near fine slipcase. Slipcase faintly scuffed. Binding tight and square, pages clean, bright, and unmarked. 2003 Hard Cover. 288 pp. A collection of humorous vignettes by various authors, with contributions by William Shakespeare, Samuel Johnson, Charles Dickens, Winston S. Churchill, the Queen of England, G.K. Chesterton, P.G. Wodehouse, Mark Twain, Dorothy Parker, Groucho Marx, etc., etc. Ever since Chaucer's day, when the host of the Tabard Inn in Southwark rose to welcome the Canterbury Pilgrims with a joke, the After Dinner Speech, designed, if possible, to reduce the assembled company to helpless merriment, has presented the ultimate challenge. The best speakers are natural story-tellers - Gerard Hoffnung, reading a selection of letters from continental hoteliers: 'There is a French widow in every bedroom affording delightful prospects'; John Mortimer telling the woeful tale of a man's numerous unsuccessful attempts to murder his wife: 'At no time did Mrs Scott feel that the magic had gone out of their marriage' - and in this collection of post-prandial treasures you will find the very best of them, from Groucho Marx on how to resist a femme fatale, to Ralph Steadman surreally addressing the Lewis Carroll Centenary Dinner. 'Goodness', said a friend on greeting Mae West, 'where did you get those beautiful pearls?' 'Goodness', replied Mae, 'had nothing to do with it.' Shaggy dog stories, practical jokes, sporting anecdotes, rousing toasts, travellers' tales and risque reminiscences rub shoulders in this essential collection with real-life revelations and moments of history. Among the guests are Peter Ustinov, Jilly Cooper, Brian Johnstone, Charles Dickens, Dorothy Parker, Robertson Davies, Henry Grady and A.P. Herbert. There is food and drink in abundance. There is gentle reflection and endearing charm as well as defiant frivolity. Above all there are stories for every occasion - witty, absurd, momentous, philosophical, fascinating, poignant, and forever entertaining.…

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a fascinating collection of letters written by Bishop Edward Stanley on his travels through Europe during the opening years of the 19th century. They provide a rare and insightful glimpse into the social, political, and cultural transformations that were unfolding across the continent at this pivotal time in history. After the Peace of Amiens, the author embarks on his first trip abroad, eager to explore France. His letters vividly capture the complexities and contradictions of a nation still reeling from the effects of the Revolution and the Napoleonic Wars. He witnesses first-hand the clash between old traditions and new revolutionary ideas, observing everything from the grandeur of the Louvre to the poverty of the French countryside. His detailed descriptions of Paris, Geneva, Italy, Spain, and other locales offer a rich and nuanced portrait of Europe in transition. Through the author's keen observations and thoughtful reflections, this book illuminates the complexities of a continent grappling with profound change, making it an invaluable resource for anyone interested in European history, travel writing, or the life and times of Bishop Edward Stanley. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
