520 _a"New England Joke Lore: The Tonic of Yankee Humor" by Arthur George Crandall is a collection of humorous stories likely written in the early 20th century. The book explores the wit and eccentricities of New Englanders, particularly through anecdotes that capture the essence of Yankee humor. The tales highlight the characteristics of local residents and various humorous incidents that arise from everyday life, making it an engaging and entertaining read for those interested in regional humor. The opening of the work introduces Uncle Andrew Cheney, a character who embodies the mix of frustration and humor typical of the genteel yet quirky New England spirit. Set against the backdrop of rural life, the narrative recounts Uncle Andrew's disdain for a wealthy neighbor's ostentatious lifestyle, leading to a humorous self-reflection on his own situation. As he sits outside a grocery store, grappling with his envy and irritation, Uncle Andrew’s musings showcase the playful, tongue-in-cheek style that pervades the book, setting the stage for a rich tapestry of characters and anecdotes that further illustrate the unique humor of New England.
