Bill Nye's Red Book
New Edition
David Widger
"Bill Nye's Red Book" by Edgar Wilson Nye is a humorous collection of essays written in the late 19th century. The work serves as a compilation of Nye's reflections and observations on a wide range of topics, from his own school days and literary habits to commentary on language, society, and historical figures. Through witty language and playful anecdotes, Nye aims to provide entertainment and insight to a broad audience. The beginning of "Bill Nye's Red Book" introduces the author’s intention behind the book—presenting a selection of his better thoughts in response to public demand for new work. He humorously reflects on his educational experiences, recalling how he began learning in a log schoolhouse and his interactions with classmates. With a touch of nostalgia, he describes his early learning habits, including a quirky reliance on a knot-hole in the floor for comfort during classes. The opening sets the tone for an engaging exploration of personal anecdotes and societal musings, establishing Nye's charming and lighthearted narrative style that invites readers to enjoy a blend of humor and insight.
