A
PARODY ANTHOLOGY

BY
CAROLYN WELLS

Octavo. $1.25 net.
Full Limp Leather. In a Box, $1.50 net.

“A book which bubbles with fun from cover to cover, which is so full of humor, indeed, that the reader will be apt to forget its serious purpose.”—Brooklyn Eagle.

“Constructed on an excellent plan and with good discretion, rendering it an excellent work of reference, as well as one of entertainment.”—Boston Herald.

“Miss Wells has placed the lover of genuine humor under a debt of lasting gratitude.”—Brooklyn Life.

“The parody has been a shining mark for the pen points of novices. Some of them hit it off, and more of them didn’t. Miss Wells seems to have found those who did.”—Chicago Evening Post.

“The collection is a worthy one, deserving a place in every library of fun.”—Chicago Record-Herald.

“Probably there is no better collection of parodies than this.”—Detroit Free Press.

A
NONSENSE ANTHOLOGY

BY
CAROLYN WELLS

Octavo. $1.25 net.
Full Limp Leather. In a Box, $1.50 net.

“All lovers of good nonsense will be grateful to Miss Carolyn Wells for compiling ‘A Nonsense Anthology.’”—Boston Herald.

“A book that the shelves of no lover of the humorous should be without. . . . Miss Wells is to be congratulated on doing something that had not been done before.”—N. Y. Evening Sun.

“A book that will bring joy to both young and old. Miss Wells has an appreciation of fooling that is not a common attribute of her sex, and a sense of humor that is exemplified by many delightful productions of her own. In making the selections for the present volume she has shown excellent judgment and a wide acquaintance with the special sort of verse that is concerned.”—The Dial.

“Almost every one will find his or her favorite selections in this volume.”—The Outlook.
