PARODY ANTHOLOGY
BY
CAROLYN WELLS
OCTAVO. $1.25 _net._ FULL LIMP LEATHER. In a Box, $1.50 _net._
“A book which bubbles with fun from cover to cover, which is so full of humor, indeed, that the reader will be apt to forget its serious purpose.”--_Brooklyn Eagle._
“Constructed on an excellent plan and with good discretion, rendering it an excellent work of reference, as well as one of entertainment.”--_Boston Herald._
“Miss Wells has placed the lover of genuine humor under a debt of lasting gratitude.”--_Brooklyn Life._
“The parody has been a shining mark for the pen points of novices. Some of them hit it off, and more of them didn’t. Miss Wells seems to have found those who did.”--_Chicago Evening Post._
“The collection is a worthy one, deserving a place in every library of fun.”--_Chicago Record-Herald._
“Probably there is no better collection of parodies than this.”--_Detroit Free Press._
A
NONSENSE ANTHOLOGY
BY
CAROLYN WELLS
OCTAVO. $1.25 _net._ FULL LIMP LEATHER. In a Box, $1.50 _net._
“All lovers of good nonsense will be grateful to Miss Carolyn Wells for compiling ‘A Nonsense Anthology.’”--_Boston Herald._
“A book that the shelves of no lover of the humorous should be without.... Miss Wells is to be congratulated on doing something that had not been done before.”--_N. Y. Evening Sun._
“A book that will bring joy to both young and old. Miss Wells has an appreciation of fooling that is not a common attribute of her sex, and a sense of humor that is exemplified by many delightful productions of her own. In making the selections for the present volume she has shown excellent judgment and a wide acquaintance with the special sort of verse that is concerned.”--_The Dial._
“Almost every one will find his or her favorite selections in this volume.”--_The Outlook._
