Hainson, Margaret NEVER SPREAD LIKE MARMALADE Stories of Wit and Humour
London Bodley Head 1975 First Edition; First Printing Hardcover Near Fine in Very Good dust jacket
An attractive copy. HC is clean, with minimal edge/corner wear. Interior clean & tight, with no markings. DJ has a few small tears/chips and light scuffing to rear, nice and bright, price clipped. 176 pages. "For this anthology, Margaret Hainson has selected excerpts and individual items which show wit in all its many flavours, and the result is a collection of 20 stories differing widely in style but with one universal appeal - they are all funny. There is Damon Runyon's deadpan account of gangster happenings in 'Tobias the Terrible', W. E. Bowman's devastating parody on mountaineering, Pierre Berton's satire on advertising, black humour from O. Henry, nonsense from Ivor Cutler, puns from Frank Muir, and James Thurber's wonderful reminiscence of 'the night the bed fell on father'..." (*shipping will be reduced to some locations) ; 8vo
