Hilariously Funny Stuff

Buy this book immediately and get ready to laugh. Bryan's memories of the funniest people of the 1920s, 30s and 40s simply has to be read. Robert Benchley, Dorothy Parker, Frank Sullivan, the incredible Hugh Troy and others are remembered here in great detail. Brilliant wit perfectly captured by an equally witty observer. What more could you want?

In addition to biographies of some of the important Algonquin Roundtable participants (Dorothy Parker was the parenthetical 'lady' of the title), this book was a fascinating, easily readable overview of life among the wealthy aristocrats of the time. The anecdotes were very funny and when it was available, I gave copies to several friends.
