  “With a sure comic touch, Davies assembles his cast of characters and lets them make fools of themselves . . . in the best Shakespearean tradition.”—The Emerald City Book Review   Weaving a tapestry of wonderfully developed characters, smoldering rivalries, and witty satire, Robertson Davies introduces the first book in the Salterton Trilogy. An amateur production of The Tempest provides a colorful backdrop for a hilarious look at unrequited love. Mathematics teacher Hector Mackilwraith, stirred and troubled by Shakespeare’s play, falls in love with the beautiful heiress Griselda Webster. When Griselda shows she has plans of her own, Hector despairs on the play’s opening night. “High comedy with a spice of satire to give it savor.”—Montreal Gazette “An exercise in puckish persiflage.”—Toronto Star “Hilarious, satirical, witty and clever.”—Edmonton Journal   “By turns humorous and sympathetic, Davies shows us that he knows his stuff, even in this, his first book.”—AllReaders.com   “It would not be a bad thing for more writers to read and be inspired by Davies’s example of intelligent, emotionally resonant fiction, or for more readers to discover its pleasures.”—The Emerald City Book Review

But without Jeeves to lend a hand, chaos ensues, and Bertie finds himself accidentally - and horribly - engaged to Madeline himself.  Right Ho, Jeeves contains a passage described by actor Stephen Fry (a Jeeves and Bertie veteran) as "the single funniest piece of sustained writing in the language".  A much beloved romp by the master of satirical comedy, the legendary P.G. Wodehouse

  About 60,000 years ago, the first Homo sapiens were just beginning their move across the grasslands and up the ladder of civilization. Everything since then, as they say, is history. Just in case you were sleeping in class that day, the geniuses at mental_floss magazine have put together a hilarious (and historically accurate) primer on everything you need to know—and that means the good stuff.Twelve core chapters of world history tackle everything from civilization's baby steps in the Fertile Crescent to the Not-Really-That-Dark-Unless-You-Lived-in-Europe Ages to A World United by Terror and TV. From the Golden Haemorhoids of the Philistines (punishment from above) to the likely namesake of the cartoon elephant Babar (a Mongol prince) to the most pressing language translation issues facing the menus of today ("carp" vs. "crap"), all of history's most interesting bits have finally been handpicked and roasted to perfection.

  Lily White and the Horrible...

  What would the story of "Snow White" be like if the princess was an idiot, the evil queen was completely incompetent, and the dwarves, instead of being happy and silly, were super mean and gross? The answer: "Lily White and the Horrible Dwarves," a comedy short story that is so awesome you'll have to read it to believe it. 
  Take your expectations for a fairy tale and throw them out the window! A noble prince? Lame. A humble princess? What a loser! A happy ending? You wish. This book is way better than all that. It will make you giggle, laugh, and ask for more. Either that, or it will make you scream for it all to stop. The only way to know is to read it! 
  **Note: This story is not for babies. It can be crude and has jokes about butts, poo, and drunk people. It also has some cartoony violence. There is no swearing or sexual activity. If this story had an MPGG rating it would probably be PG, and may be comparable to an episode of the Simpsons.**
