Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Star Dust: Satire, Humor and Pathos; In Prose and Verse The casting about to find some one to act as a sort of Godfather for this work has given the writer more trouble than has the writing of the whole book. His first intention was to select a victim from his many friends but the difficulty in deciding on which one, and the fear that in so doing he might estrange the affections of all the rest, caused him to change his mind. He next turned to a number of living celebrities of sufficient prominence to deserve the compliment, but was confronted by another difficulty: the one selected might at some future time be guilty of conduct which would cause the writer to regret his selection. He then began to look for some one so thoroughly dead as not to be open to this objection; but here was a new difficulty. Those whom he first hit upon had already had enough honors of that kind conferred on them, but he finally found one to whom the world owes a great deal, but who nevertheless in this respect has been shamefully neglected. This fact, and not the one that he is a distant relation of the writer, has caused him to dedicate this work to our common progenitor, Adam.
