Comic novelist and critic Paul McDonald explores the philosophy of humour in a book that will appeal to philosophers and creative writers alike.

Readers are invited to engage in creative writing e...

Originally published in 1878, Paul Faber, Surgeon is the second in MacDonald's classic "Wingfold Trilogy."
