A Christopher Morley Reader

Christopher Morley showed an unusual talent for humorous writing in many different settings. Here is an example. His description of a commencement address in the Garden of Eden, is both priceless and timeless.

This volume contains the full text of the following manuscripts, as well as a whimsical “biography” written by Morley himself:

Parnassus on Wheels

The Haunted Bookshop

Mince Pie

Plum Pudding

In the Sweet Dry and Dry

Where the Blue Begins

Shandygaff

Pipefuls

He was the son of a mathematician, and spent a considerable amount of his early life in Baltimore, Maryland, which help explain many things. Based on the high quality and large quantity of his work, he is a fine addition to AfterMath’s Baltimore Authors series.
