Stimulating, challenging, engaging, well informed and wide-ranging, Professor Redfern's revised book on puns offers massive returns both to the specialist researcher and the interested general reader. Taking his examples back to ancient literatures, but drawing especially on English, American and French cultures, he defines the way in which the pun has so often been denigrated as a poor relation within the family of humorous modes.
