046 - Advice to Those Visiting a Baby

from Mince Pie · host Christopher Morley

Dive into Mince Pie, a delightful collection of whimsical sketches, poetry, and essays penned by the witty Christopher Morley. In the preface, Morley humorously muses, If one asks what excuse there can be for prolonging the existence of these trifles, my answer is that there is no excuse. But a copy on the bedside shelf may possibly pave the way to easy slumber. This charming compilation is perfect for those who appreciate lighthearted literature that invites a smile without the need for critical scrutiny.
