Wilder is a collection of humorous writings and sketches created in the early 20th century. This compilation showcases a variety of comedic pieces from different authors, reflecting the wit and cultural nuances of American humor during this time period. The book features a mix of poems, short stories, and humorous remarks that capture the essence of American life and social commentary. At the start of the volume, the opening portions introduce several entertaining pieces, including "Trouble-Proof" by Edwin L. Sabin, which humorously explores the character of a seemingly untroubled man, and "Johnny's Pa" by Wilbur D. Nesbit, which reflects on the humorous notions children have about their parents' school days. The excerpts illustrate various comedic styles and subjects, with witty observations and playful narratives that highlight the uniqueness of American humor through satire and lighthearted anecdotes. Each piece sets the stage for the subsequent humorous explorations to come in the collection. (This is an automatically generated summary.) Reading ease score: 79.4 (7th grade).
