Robert Williams Wood (1868–1955)

A paragon of puns, to be shelved beside such oddities as The Devil's Dictionary.

Only vaguely amusing, but this comparison of birds with flowers does take you back to a time when entertainment was of a vastly different nature than it is now. Some of the pictures are great, however, as they make the bird and flower look almost alike.

Z loved this. Gift from PLB.

This short work of verse and drawings was produced by one of the world's great experimental physicists for his chldren. It is intended to be humerous and will not take more than half an hour to read, but in spite of being a century old, it retains some amusing ideas. Some titles are:
The bee - the beet - the beetle
The doe - the dodo
The ape - the grape
The antelope - the cantelope
Etc
I hope the reader finds and enjoys the humour of this little book.
