“I now have indelibly burned onto my retinas the image of Emily cavorting about in the backwaters of some forgotten body of water, looking for her lost love … bethonged hindward parts bobbing up and down with each dive. I don’t know whether to thank or curse the writers… I am also now incredibly afraid of ��fence wedgies’.” -–Don Muchow, Editor, Would That It Were

"If you're fond of Monty Python, generally, and Michael Palin's "Ripping Yarns" in particular, you'll likely enjoy this short book of humor which delightfully spoofs Victorian/Edwardian literature and contemporary literary scholarship." --Amazon reviewer
