About this book
This Giddy Globe is a 1919 comic geography by Oliver Herford (1860-1935), the American humorist and illustrator, presented as a mock textbook of the world dedicated impudently to President Wilson. Herford surveys the planet, its hemispheres, its peoples, and its postwar politics in nonsense prose and verse with his own illustrations, parodying the schoolroom geography at a moment when the Paris Peace Conference was redrawing the actual map. The little book is characteristic of the small satirical gift volumes Herford issued almost yearly, in which gentle absurdity carries pointed comment. Herford's reputation as the American Oscar Wilde rested on exactly this blend of childlike format and adult wit. The book is a period piece of 1919 American humour.
