“No, no, I’ll cry for a little while longer,” the author assures you, catching the tone of Shakespeare’s jester from *Two Gentlemen of Verona*—but in truth, on every page they invent a reason to smile.
Open this book and you’ll find yourself both crying and laughing at the same time—precisely the kind of saving remedy you probably were looking for.
“No, no, I’ll cry for a little while longer,” says the jester (servant) Lance in Shakespeare’s play *Two Gentlemen of Verona*, and then sets about entertaining the audience with tales about relatives and a ridiculous dog. The same thing happens here: the author promises a bit of sorrow, but instead turns everything into an exciting, funny performance.
And if someone laughs through tears—well, that’s how times are. Without tears, now you just can’t manage.
