Publisher Notes
Kingsley Amis has achieved his main objective in compiling The New Oxford Book of Light Verse--to raise a good-natured smile--by providing a witty and consistently entertaining survey of this tradition of English Writing. The book ranges from satire to nonsense verse, from deft vers de societe to epigrams and limericks.
Media Reviews
"It is impossible, though, to pull a long face at this collection. The poems he assembles are pleasing, instructive, and full of laughter."
