Hard Cover. Etat : Near Fine. Near Fine. 4th Printing. 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.…

Hard Cover. Etat : Good. No Jacket. Boards and binding edge of first few pages stained, boards, pencil names on front endpaper. Binding tight and square, text clean and unmarked. 1867 Hard Cover. 210; 202 pp. Early 2-in-1 edition. The Newcomes, novel by William Makepeace Thackeray, first published in 24 installments from 1853 to 1855 under the title The Newcomes: Memoirs of a Most Respectable Family, edited by "Arthur Pendennis, Esq.," the narrator of the story. The novel was published in book form in two volumes in 1854 - 55. A tale spanning decades in the lives of a well-to-do middle-class English family, The Newcomes is mainly concerned with Col. Thomas Newcome and his son Clive. The unheroic but attractive Clive falls in love with his cousin Ethel but instead marries Rose Mackenzie, who eventually dies in childbirth. The Colonel is ruined financially by the greedy, coldhearted Barnes Newcome, Ethel's father and head of the family. The Colonel's deathbed scene, described with deep feeling that avoids sentimentality, is one of the most famous in Victorian fiction.…
