About
Did you know that "aborigines" were a system of mountains? Or that an "equestrian" was someone who asks questions? Or that the food of the gods is "ammonia"? Long before the book "Pullet Surprises" set all America chuckling over student bloopers, teachers have been collecting the best of their pupils' blunders and howlers. This classic Victorian collection will keep YOU chuckling - and teach you a few things you probably didn't know, such as the fact that "a verb is something to eat" and "every sentence must begin with a caterpillar." Reformatted to fit today's bookshelf, this wonderful collection includes Mark Twain's witty review and introduction to the book, from Century Magazine.
