Description

This is an anthology of modern comic non-fiction (selected from memoirs, reviews, newspaper columns, etc), ranging from G.K. Chesterton through Stephen Potter to Clive James and Miles Kington. Like Patricia Craigs other compilation, The Penguin Book of British Comic Stories, the pieces are chosen to illustrate a specifically British (and Irish) kind of humorous approach to the world, and the choice is supported with a critical introduction.
