Crothers, a Cambridge minister and essayist, turns his humour on logic that ignores inconvenient facts, the American temperament, the unaccustomed ears of Europe, the Toryism of travellers and the obviousness of Dickens. Each essay starts from a familiar phrase or habit and follows it somewhere unexpected.
Witty, humane essays in the tradition of Charles Lamb, for anyone who enjoys a well-turned argument. Download the free EPUB.
