Eight or Nine Wise Words about Letter-Writing

Paperback (Independently published Sept. 15, 2020)
Some American writer has said “the snakes in this district may be divided into one species—the venomous.” The same principle applies here. Post-age-Stamp-Cases may be divided into one species, the “Wonderland.” Imitations of it will soon appear, no doubt: but they cannot include the two Pictorial Surprises, which are copyright.You don‟t see why I call them „Surprises‟? Well, take the Case in your left-hand, and regard it atten-tively. You see Alice nursing the Duchess‟s Baby? (An entirely new combination, by the way: it doesn‟t occur in the book.) Now, with your right thumb and forefinger, lay hold of the little book, and suddenly pull it out. The Baby has turned into a Pig! If that doesn‟t surprise you, why, I suppose you wouldn‟t be surprised if your own Mother-in-law suddenly turned into a Gyroscope!
