"Freedom begets wit and wit begets freedom."--Jean Paul
"Hill places great importance on the jest as he traces examples from Genesis to Grimm to Freud, but he never lets his scholarly investigation of the subject grow heavy and dull. His writing style and brilliant observations laced with displays of his own wit propel the reader from start to conclusion of this fascinating study."--South Atlantic Review
