Originally published in the 1950s as a piece in Furioso Magazine, this parody work is a fun jaunt through notable moments in classic literature. While gathering information for a PhD thesis, college-age Myers, finding himself inspired by some of the funny little historical nuggets he was hitting upon, put together this little collection of humorous stories about famous authors and imagined alternate histories accompanied by parody artwork. Fairly described as a '1066 And All That' of English literature. Ref JJ 3.
