Delightfully silly

A quaint story with lots of amusing footnotes. Great if you have some time to kill and don't want to commit to a longer book.

A great little novella by my favourite author. The Monks of Appalling Dreadfulness is a follow up to the Samuel Johnson Trilogy, and raised a few much needed laughs.
