There Was a Young Girl from Verona: A Limerick Cycle Based on the Complete Dramatic Works of Shakespeare - Softcover

A limerick for each play of Shakespeare's.

There's no funnier versification of Shakespeare than this book, in which widely published light verser Max Gutmann takes comic aim at each of the bard's works in turn. The only thing as funny as Gutmann's silly poems are the zany drawings by Jerry Seltzer, creator of the syndicated cartoon strip, Gunchello."Gutmann's skill is dazzling, his wit, sharper than a serpent's tooth. In the churchyard of Stratford-on-Avon, the Bard must be doing sixty revolutions a minute."--X.J. Kennedy "funny and fresh"--Dana Gioia "Seltzer's art is bardaciously wonderful!... I'm sure that Mr. Shakespeare himself would be on the floor laughing out loud!"--Duck Edwing, MAD Magazine
