Description:N*rm*n M**l*r says: "The less said about thiS book the better. But I owe it to Mother Harvard, to Dwight MacDonald and to my own volatile juices to prove that I've done my homework. According to the overpaid Boswell, A.E. Hotchner, Hemingway said that the next long step up the literary fire escape from the writing of parody is being clever on toilet walls. And, dear friends, it saddens me not one whit to report that most of the gargle in this Dixie cup doesn't even qualify as parody. The whole slosh smells of travesty to me. Sometimes, when the author's spavined muse soars to ankle level, it graduates to the burlesque division; but it never makes the parody scene at all. That's just one man's solution, of course. But what a man!Wells purses his classically puerile theme (what, for goodness' sake, might happen if some favorite nursery tales were retold by modern authors) with all the zest of a tranquilized tree sloth. The book should appeal intensely to anyone stranded on a desert island with nothing to read, and it is nicely balanced for throwing at cats or passing congressmen. "So that you won't feel entirely cheated by Macmillan, Wells, and the whole bunch who stole your nickel, I'll toss in one of my special poems. Don't sniff at it. Compared with what follows it's a pearl beyond price.SOME OF MY BEST FRIENDS ARE UTGUT,SLUT,RUT,TUT!"We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
