About this audiobook

Satire. That form of wit that ridicules all those shortcomings and flaws in individuals, society and its institutions in an effort to shame and mock them into a change of behaviour. And words in the hands of such talents as Oscar Wilde, Mark Twain, Jerome K Jerome and very many others are the mightiest weapons of such persuasion.
