About this audiobook

This is no ordinary alphabet book; it is a gallery of witty caricatures dissecting the quirks of society. From the bore to the zealot, each letter reveals a personality type sketched with stinging humor and observation. The rhymes punch up, poking fun at the pretensions of the era's everyday characters. A clever, satirical romp through the human zoo.
