7 of 7 people found the following review helpful. A TRULY FUNNY AND WELL WRITTEN READ. An early version of Ogden Nash By D. Blankenship If you enjoy a good writer who can truly "play" with words or if you like a good parody or if you enjoyed the works of Ogden Nash, this little work will most certainly please you.Guy Whitmore Carryl was born in New York City in 1973 and died at the age of 31 in 1904. While he had a very short writing career, he most certainly made the most of it. He wrote for such publications as Harper's Magazine, Life and Collier's. He is best known for his works such as we find here in "Fables for the Frivolous, one of several volumes of such work he published during his lifetime. The work being reviewed here was first published in 1898 and has been reissued many times. It is a collection of parodies of Aesop's Fables set in rhyme.I have to tell you that I found myself chuckling through this entire work and at times laughing out loud. As has been pointed out, even though Carryl was American, he most certainly was blessed with the dry wit of an Englishman. He is able to write some very ridiculous things, and do it with a straight face...so to speak.Each of these fables ends with a "moral," and each of these morals ends with a pun. Carryl was most certainly a master of the English language and used it to amuse. He rewrote many of Grimm's Fairy Tales and Mother Goose Rhymes, turning them all into subtle parodies. This is all good stuff folks.This Kindle edition is pretty good although, as with so many books printed, the formatting is in paragraph form rather than that of poem. In this case it does not matter that much as the reader will instantly see what has happened and quickly adjust. I cannot complain too much as the thing was free and copied by volunteers.Don BlankenshipThe Ozarks
6 of 6 people found the following review helpful. American Precursor to Ogden Nash By Carl Lombardi Carryl's talent is in the same league as Ogden Nash's or Lewis Carroll's. He was an American, but his humor has more of a British (a la Monty Python) feel: macaronic, affectatiously aloof, and nonsensical. If you are serious about whimsy, you will love Guy Wetmore Carryl.
