2003Best.-Nr. 2353254London: The Folio Society 2003. 4th Printing. Hard Cover. Near Fine/Near Fine. 0x0x0. Cox Paul. 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. The Folio Society hardcover books
