This work is one that I have found to be entertaining from several reads. This is definately not a sit down and plow through it book, but rather one can pick up and put down as needed. As a whole, I found in interesting from a perspective of much of what we consider normal everyday language these days was only a couple of hundred years ago considered the ebonics of the time. <p> It does very much carry the tone and verbage of the day, fans of Victorian, Edwardian, or Elizabethan period...
