Collected mostly from his columns in the Philadelphia Evening Public Ledger, these short pieces find comedy and charm in the everyday. Morley writes on filling an ink-well, the guilty pleasure of not answering letters, Christmas cards, sitting in the barber’s chair, being bullied by birds, and the commuters and characters of the city, prefaced by instructions that the book be read only in bed.
Gentle, bookish humour for bedside dipping, as its author intended. Download the free EPUB.
