The Oxford Book of Humorous Prose by Frank Muir
Starting with Caxton in 1477 Frank Muir shows how humorous writing has developed and been refined through five centuries by such practitioners and innovators as Jonathan Swift, Henry Fielding and Laurence Sterne, and also how humour ranges from the crude to the subtle.Frank Muir was born in Glasgow and has had a strong desire to see the world since he was a child. Twenty-five years of working abroad have helped him appreciate the raw beauty of his homeland. Frank is now a dual citizen of the United States and the United Kingdom, living in Lenzie and working in the United States. In 2004, Louise Welsh named his first novel Eye for an Eye as the winner of the Pitlochry Prize for the greatest crime narrative by an unpublished author. Frank is now working on Tooth for a Tooth, the third book in the Andy Gilchrist series.
