A Modern Beanstalk

Pieces of Hate and other Enthusiasms

by Heywood BROUN (1888 - 1939)

This book is a collection of humorous short stories about ordinary instances in daily life. We learn many interesting things about life, such as how to court women successfully, what it feels like to be a god, and why sometimes it would be a good idea to exchange one's own newborn baby for a better one at the hospital.
