Europe Revised

by Irvin S. COBB (1876 - 1944)

17 - Ch. VIII: A Tale of a String-bean, pt. 3

Irwin Cobb's humorous Europe Revised is a travelogue and comedy almost in the style of Mark Twain. The dedication says it best, "To My Small Daughter Who bade me shed a tear at the tomb of Napoleon, which I was very glad to do, because when I got there my feet certainly were hurting me."
