“Carolyn Wells is a natural-born humorist as well as a humorous anthologist. Anthologies before Carolyn Wells took to making them were grave and formidable things.”—N. Y. Times Review.

A Vers de SociÉtÉ Anthology

This book, the fifth in Miss Wells’ popular series of anthologies, contains the cream of that department of verse which can be described adequately only by the French term, “Vers de SociÉtÉ.” From FranÇois Villon to the present time almost all the great writers are represented. Miss Wells shows again her anthological discretion in her unerring sense for the interesting and significant.

A Whimsey Anthology

“It is a book for a blue novel—being certain to counteract it—and it is a book of value to those who get up entertainments or like the fantastic in literature.”—From the Rochester Democrat and Chronicle.

A Satire Anthology

“The cream of rhymed satire from Aristophanes to Oliver Herford. Shows the same intelligence and good taste as her preceding volumes.”—N. Y. Globe.

A Parody Anthology

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

A Nonsense Anthology

“Few could be better fitted for the task than one whose precept and verse assure her attitude towards this important department of literature.”—New York Evening Post.
