Slipcase faintly scuffed. Binding tight and square, pages clean, bright, and unmarked. 2003 Hard Cover. 288 pp. A collection of humorous vignettes by various authors, with contributions by William Shakespeare, Samuel Johnson, Charles Dickens, Winston S. Churchill, the Queen of England, G.K. Chesterton, P.G. Wodehouse, Mark Twain, Dorothy Parker, Groucho Marx, etc., etc. Ever since Chaucer's day, when the host of the Tabard Inn in Southwark rose to welcome the Canterbury Pilgrims with a joke, the After Dinner Speech, designed, if possible, to reduce the assembled company to helpless merriment, has presented the ultimate challenge. The best speakers are natural story-tellers - Gerard Hoffnung, reading a selection of letters from continental hoteliers: 'There is a French widow in every bedroom affording delightful prospects'; John Mortimer telling the woeful tale of a man's numerous unsuccessful attempts to murder his wife: 'At no time did Mrs Scott feel that the magic had gone out of their marriage' - and in this collection of post-prandial treasures you will find the very best of them, from Groucho Marx on how to resist a femme fatale, to Ralph Steadman surreally addressing the Lewis Carroll Centenary Dinner. 'Goodness', said a friend on greeting Mae West, 'where did you get those beautiful pearls?' 'Goodness', replied Mae, 'had nothing to do with it.' Shaggy dog stories, practical jokes, sporting anecdotes, rousing toasts, travellers' tales and risque reminiscences rub shoulders in this essential collection with real-life revelations and moments of history. Among the guests are Peter Ustinov, Jilly Cooper, Brian Johnstone, Charles Dickens, Dorothy Parker, Robertson Davies, Henry Grady and A.P. Herbert. There is food and drink in abundance. There is gentle reflection and endearing charm as well as defiant frivolity. Above all there are stories for every occasion - witty, absurd, momentous, philosophical, fascinating, poignant, and forever entertaining.

Lots, streets, and a public square were mapped out in preparation for those who would reside in the town, which was named Franklin in honor of Benjamin Franklin. King's dreams were fulfilled quickly as many businesses were attracted to the new town. The first courthouse was erected in 1824 and by 1831 many craftsmen, merchants, and professionals had settled in Franklin to conduct business. Basketball "fever" has been a highlight of life in Franklin throughout its history. Residents young and old are familiar with the legendary "Wonder Five" basketball team which won state high school championships in 1920, 1921, and 1922. Whether cheering on the home team at a basketball game, strolling through the Public Square, attending Franklin College, or taking in a movie at the Artcraft Theater, Franklin residents are proud of the town they call home. Franklin: A Pictorial History captures Franklin's past and brings it to life through photographs." -- A richly illustrated historical account of the town of Franklin, showcasing its evolution from its founding days to the present. Through an extensive collection of historical photographs, the book documents the major events, people, and places that have shaped the community over time. This pictorial history serves as a visual journey through the town's development, capturing its cultural heritage, architectural landmarks, and community life across different eras. The book provides readers with not only a visual experience but also contextualizes the photographs with detailed captions and short narratives that highlight significant moments in the town's history. It serves as a valuable resource for local historians, residents, and anyone interested in the history of Franklin, making it both a tribute to the past and a reminder of the town's enduring legacy.
