      About This Book

      In this collection of witty and trenchant aphorisms, Robin Skelton draws on the cynicism of La Rochefoucauld, the Aufklärung insights of Lichtenberg and the devilish wiles of Ambrose Bierce to provide Canada with its own "devious dictionary." Once again, Skelton proves himself to be a wizard of language. Includes 13 collages by Ludwig Zeller.
