{"product_id":"tobogganing-on-parnassus-franklin-p-adams-9781419190353","title":"Tobogganing On Parnassus","description":"Tobogganing On Parnassus is a collection of essays by Franklin P. Adams, first published in 1911. The book is a witty and humorous reflection on the world of literature and the arts, with Adams offering his opinions on everything from Shakespeare to modern poetry. The title is a reference to Mount Parnassus, the mythical home of the muses, and suggests that Adams sees himself and his fellow writers as sledding down the slopes of this literary mountain. The essays are written in a conversational style and are full of Adams' trademark puns and wordplay. The book was well-received upon its publication and has since become a classic of literary criticism and humor.Your conduct, naughty Chloris, is Not just exactly Horace's Ideal of a lady At the shady Time of life; You mustn't throw your soul away On foolishness, like Pholoe-- Her days are folly-laden-- She's a maiden, You're a wife.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
