Title: SUCH NONSENSE - Such Delight!
Review: I remember reading this book first as a child, having found it among the precious collection of my mother's books from when she was a child. I rediscovered it again among the forgotten and neglected books in my high school library.Now, several decades later I have located and bought myself a vintage edition very much like my mother's beloved copy.Never have I come across such a lovingly assembled collection of nonsense and whimsy. Even after the span of 80 years since it was published, the humor in this book shines with all the raucous exuberance of it's day.Nostalgic, but not dated; innocent, but not naive; silly and playful to be sure, but never stupid -certainly never coarse or vulgar; this is an assembly of inspired daffiness, genuine wit and brilliant humor.HIGHLY recommended to anyone who seeks to know what humor really is. The collection of Jabberwocky parodies alone is worth the cost of the book.
