Folio Society, London, 1999. The Pick of Punch, Selected and Introduced by Miles Kington. Second Printing. Ruled box with black lettering on the spine.
Punch Magazine. This is a collection of articles, cartoons and poems that had been featured in the publication over the years and provides a good sampling of what Punch was all about.
To be fair, most of the writings are in the amusing, rather than the outrageously funny, category of humor. (Well, with the exception of the Terry Jones and Michael Palin account of their Monty Python tour of Canada which had me laughing out loud) While there are a few cultural references that may escape some readers not familiar with events and personages of the time the piece was written, most stand the test of time and illustrate that humor does not need to be caustic to entertain. Additionally, there were a few pieces that did not resonate, but due to their brevity, did not adversely effect the enjoyment of the book.
As a look back to a different time and as a testament to its over 160 years of publication, this volume is a treat for readers who may wish to see what the fuss was all about and to enjoy some light hearted banter that is pleasant and relaxing.
