Masterpieces of American Wit and Humor is a collection of humorous stories, essays, and poems from some of America's most celebrated writers. Edited by Thomas L. Masson, this book features works from the likes of Mark Twain, Edgar Allan Poe, James Thurber, and Dorothy Parker, among others. The pieces included in this volume cover a wide range of topics, from social satire to absurdity, and showcase the wit and humor that has made American literature so beloved. This book is a must-read for anyone looking for a good laugh and a glimpse into the rich tradition of American humor.In the meantime strange things had been going on. When he caught hold of the first bee, Mr. Middlerib, for reasons, drew it out in such haste that for a time he forgot all about the bottle and its remedial contents, and left it lying uncorked in the bed, between himself and his innocent wife. In the darkness there had been a quiet but general emigration from that bottle. The bees, their wings clogged with the water Mr. Middlerib had poured upon them to cool and tranquillize them, were crawling aimlessly over the sheet. While Mr. Middlerib was feeling around for it, his ears were suddenly thrilled and his heart frozen by a wild, piercing scream from his wife.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
