| 60 of 61 people found the following review helpful:  Lots of good stories, By This review is from: The Book of Three Hundred Anecdotes Historical, Literary, and Humorous - A New Selection (Kindle Edition) There is loads of enjoyable reading in this book. Few of these stories are "funny" so you probably won't laugh very much- they're tales of people who have done something virtuous, so the word "heartwarming" is a good description. There's no intro to tell you where the anecdotes come from or when they were collected. The table of contents is active by topic- Affection, Artists, Begging... 26 of 28 people found the following review helpful:  Too old to be worth it, By Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: The Book of Three Hundred Anecdotes Historical, Literary, and Humorous - A New Selection (Kindle Edition) I downloaded this book thinking I could share some amusing anecdotes with people. Some stories are timeless however, these are not. For me, while the themes never go out of style (there is one section of people complaining about doctors, for example) the people are often very obscure. The humor is lost or would require some knowledge of the context of the period. Many of the "historical" anecdotes likewise are of people that were well known in there day but didn't do enough to assure their place in the history books. Probably worth the read if you know a lot about this time period, but otherwise, Id skip it. |
