EXCUSE IT, PLEASE! Humor by Cornelia Otis Skinner Armed Services Edition Q-1

Description: CORNELIA OTIS SKINNER is not given to taking herself—nor anyone else, for that matter—with undue seriousness. This new volume, of the same varied nature as Excuse It, Please!, is, if possible, even more entertaining. There is something here on the awkwardness of being a parent at a children's party in the house of a strange neighbor, on the real value of English sports clothes, on the author's struggles to master the sublimating exercises of Yoga, on the role of the wife entertaining the important "out of town buyer" and his spouse. There are parodies, indignations, enthusiasms, and quite a lot which can only be classified as nonsense—all of it as penetrating as it is amusing.Miss Skinner has that rarest of talents, an ability to bring to life situations which are common to us all, and, in laughing at herself, to make us all laugh at ourselves. There is no laughter more enjoyable!This special edition of DITHERS AND JITTERS by Cornelia Otis Skinner has been made available to the Armed Forces of the United States through an arrangement with the original publisher, Dodd, Mead and Company. Inc., New York.Editions for the Armed Services, Inc., a non-profit organization established by the Council on Books in Wartime Please visit my store for additional interesting ASE titles.
