It's not often that an acclaimed historian is revealed to be the author of light
verse, but John R. Alden here presents us with 1,707 couplets, quatrains, and other terse
verse in the tradition of Ogden Nash. His subject matter ranges from dinosaurs to computers,
from Confucius to Darwin, from Jonah to George Bush. His wit, wisdom, and powers of
observation are sure to amuse and delight. A sample: "How did Arkman Noah/Provide for
protozoa?"

John R. Alden died in 1991. Blackstone Audiobooks has also recorded his George Washington: A Biography and Rise of the American Republic.
