Left Handed Stemwinders and Oddities From Old Papers
A collage of short items and jokes from a bygone era includes a tale of a left handed man who could not wind a stemwinder until a mistake proved the clock run only with a right hand. Other sketches feature school quizzing, French riddles, an amusing cyclist tramp, and medical history’s mythical founder Chiron.
