Master Book of Humorous Illustrations

About the Book

MASTER BOOK OF HUMOROUS ILLUSTRATIONS is life in America, many years ago. Work was hard. Life was simple. Laughter was free.

Story tellers were more numerous then. Since there weren't any TV's or movie houses, people flocked to hear good orators. Whether given by a preacher, a politician, or a grandstand speaker at a county fair, their "waxing eloquence" usually included funny stories. People liked to laugh...they still do.

Our parents and grandparents grew up with this type of humor. They'll be glad to see it again. I'm only 49 and much of it made me chuckle. Some of it even makes me laugh out loud!

Enjoy.

About the Author

Ken Alley loves to laugh. He collects humor in two fashions:
1) True, funny things that have happened to people, as in the books, AWKWARD CHRISTIAN SOLDIERS, MICROWAVE THE BOAT ASHORE, and LIFE'S A GAS.
2) Old books of humor that need to be brought back, as in ENCYCLOPEDIA OF WIT, HUMOR and WISDOM and HEAVENLY HOOTS.

There is one serious bone in his body that is reflected in...AND THIS IS MY PRAYER.

Leewin B. Williams was the compiler of American humor during the first half of the 20th century. His efforts are greatly appreciated.
