1 About this book

The great American humorist's "translations" of journals by the first man and woman offer a comic "he said/she said" narrative. An irreverent look at conventional religion, the book presents a thoughtful argument for the equality of the sexes. This special hardcover edition features outstanding illustrations by F. Strothmann and Lester Ralph on every page.

Good for readers who want: humor and a short read.
