A Little Book of Bores

'A Little Book of Bores' is a collection of humorous and witty limericks by Oliver Herford. The book features alphabetical poems from A to Z, each accompanied by a full black-and-white illustration. With Herford's clever wordplay and comedic timing, readers will be entertained by these playful and irreverent verses. Here's the first poem in this book presented in its full-length: "A is the Autograph Bore / Whom Authors and Actors deplore / Tho' it's evident quite / If the Dears ceased to write / They'd deplore even more than before."
