Toothpick Tales (1892)

by Opie Read

Book Overview

Toothpick Tales is a collection of short stories written by Opie Percival Read and originally published in 1892. The book contains a total of 32 stories, each one of them being a humorous anecdote or a witty observation about everyday life. The stories are all very short, usually no more than a few paragraphs long, and are meant to be read quickly and enjoyed for their cleverness and humor. The title of the book comes from the fact that many of the stories involve toothpicks in some way, whether it's a character using one to pick their teeth or a toothpick being used as a metaphor for something else. Some of the stories are based on real-life events or people, while others are purely fictional. Overall, Toothpick Tales is a charming and entertaining book that provides a glimpse into the humor and wit of the late 19th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
