Just one more bit from my copy's intro   Written by Carey (5/3/2005 8:25 a.m.) in consequence of the missive, Further comments, penned by Meg in Calif.
Are you new?

Its just this guy seems to say things a lot better than I ever could. I dont think I am quite as in love with it as the guy who wrote the intro but I am enjoying it. As I mentioned before going slowly seems to help - if u have the time that is!

"Here we have satire, the gentlest that ever fell from a pen; pungent, but the pungency of a pleasant acid, without one drop of gall; humour, the quaintest, the simplest, the slyest; wit that sparkles like dew-drops; pathos that makes its way right to the heart; and with all and above all, an exquisite power of delineating the foibles that make one smile, as well as fortitude that makes the eye moist: all these render "TVoW" the most readable, the most loveable, the most imperishable of novels."
