Synopsis

A richly entertaining collection of humorous quotations embracing a wealth of comic utterances of all types: aphorisms and epigrams, retorts and putdowns, quips and one-liners, sayings and proverbs, together with examples of unintentional humour such as gaffes and malapropisms. The quotations are drawn from a world-class cast of wits and humorists: comedians, novelists, playwrights, diarists, journalists, reviewers, politicians, actors, lyricists and many others. The quotations are arranged A to Z under thematic headings, making the volume not just a highly entertaining and browsable selection but a really useful one as well.
