The Dean's Diaries
David Purdie
In this
highly entertaining book, the Dean of St. Andrew's College in
Edinburgh gives a witty and funny account of his eccentric colleagues
via entries into his diaries. When they aren't falling down the
laundry chutes they are up to other shenanigans, which often made me
laugh out loud. I particularly enjoyed the chapter entitled 'Dean
on the Phone' as well as the musings on American baseball, the
'Ordynance of 1565' and the comedy of 'misprisions'
(mistaking someone for another
person), and so many others. The illustrations were an
added bonus. I hope the Dean is hard at work on volume two because, I
for one, am waiting for more.
Thanks
to Netgalley and Luath Press Limited for allowing me to read the
ebook in exchange for an honest review.
