This edition of "The Oxford Dictionary of Humorous Quotations" contains over 5000 quotations hand-picked by the writer and broadcaster Ned Sherrin. It contains a wide coverage of themes such as autobiography, awards and prizes, parties, presidents, smoking and tennis. From sharp one-liners to witty quips, there are quotations from classic humorists such as Mae West, Oscar Wilde and Groucho Marx, to today's well known comedians and wits including Dick Vosburgh, Maureen Lipman, Tracey Ullman, Ben Elton and Ian Hislop. There are also quotations from famous luminaries from walks of life other than comedy, from Samuel Johnson to Tennessee Williams, and Albert Einstein to the Duke of Wellington. The dictionary includes details of where each quotation comes from, who said it, where and when, an author index allowing you at a glance to establish who said what and a detailed keyword index.
