the crocodile

Nothing like a crocodile with your coffee first thing in the morning... Here's one of my favorite things... well two. Lewis Carroll and his Crocodile: THE CROCODILE How doth the little crocodile Improve his shining tail, And pour the waters of the Nile On every golden scale! How cheerfully he seems to grin, How neatly spreads his claws, And welcomes little fishes in, With gently smiling jaws! Lewis Carroll (1823-1898) From The Hunting of the Snark and Other Poems and Verses. Lewis Carroll. New York: Harper & Brothers, 1903.

a nice review... wait

S J Perelma's first collection of essays, Dawn Ginsbergh's Revenge, came out in 1929. Groucho Marx wrote him a letter that said: "From the moment I picked up your book until I put it down, I was convulsed with laughter. Some day I intend reading it." Genius!

your task...

Joseph Conrad said, "My task which I am trying to achieve is, by the power of the written word to make you hear, to make you feel — it is, before all, to make you see. That — and no more, and it is everything."

the new emily post...

this is the original one... but now that I've written a manners book I do believe I am the next one. (I probably will lose the hat and the frilly frothy bodice thing though.) As you probably know my manners are the talk of the barn and I'm known the world over for my exquisite table manners and social graces. Which is why I felt it my duty to share my wisdom and riches. The book comes out May 14th and it is called Being A Pig Is Nice. It is brilliantly illustrated by the uber talented Dan Krall who is also well-mannered and nice like me. If you too would like to know how to behave in such a graceful fashion, buy our book without delay. Before you commit a gaffe in public and disgrace yourself and live to regret it. (If you don't want to know how to behave, you're probably a pig in which case you'll enjoy our book very much indeed.) To pre-order your copy, check it out here.
