A modern recreation of a Victorian scrapbook made up of cuttings from books and magazines published in the early to mid nineteenth century. You will come across such delights as the artificial duck that ate, drank and quacked; the tax on bachelors; early attempts at ballooning; the clever cat; horse-racing by machinery; leeches; powdering the hair; early steam carriages. And of course the baboon playing chess with an Emperor. And much, much more. If you enjoy loitering amongst literary and historic trivia, then you will love this book.

Queen Victoria supposedly said "We are not amused". Read "Old Groaners", and you will find some of the conundrums, or riddles, that amused the Victorians. Why do some persons believe the moon to be made of green cheese? Because of the milky whey that surrounds it. Which is the way to make your trousers last? To make your coat and waistcoat first. Why is a guinea in the distance not worth a penny? Because it's only a far-thing.Why do little birds in a nest agree? Because if they did not, they would fall out.Why is a dead doctor like a dead duck? Because he has stopped quacking. What is worse than "raining cats and dogs"? Hailing omnibuses.Read about the background to "Old Groaners" at http://lulu.wikidot.com/old-groaners
