I love George Burns though he is a taste you may need historical context to enjoy.

This is for mature readers, not children though we did use an edited (by me) version for some living history examples of inflation. (

I enjoyed reading about George Burns' life. The book is a collection of 100 stories that are humours, mostly in chronological order. (
