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.

Shall I compare thee to a summer's day...
Far from the madding Crowd's ignoble Strife...
Emma felt the tears running down her cheeks...
I saw that the bride within the bridal dress had withered...
Move him into the sun...

English literature may very well be the greatest body of imaginative writing the world has yet seen. The human experience has been understood, interpreted and conveyed by writers of genius in a tradition stretching through six or more centuries, from Chaucer to Philip Larkin, from Defoe to William Golding. Here, accompanied by a wealth of examples, is the story of a literature that has touched the hearts and stirred the minds of countless readers through the ages.
