From the Back Cover

Praise for Never Hit a Jellyfish with a Spade

"A collection of daily drolleries . . . Full of short takes with a great deal of no-nonsense (well, maybe a little nonsense) charm."
Publishers Weekly

"This laugh-out-loud little essay collection serves up offbeat assistance. . . . Browning’s sophisticated humor makes this a winner."
—Library Journal, starred review

"Brilliant. . . . . Everyday matters are skewered with deadpan style and deadly accuracy."
—Sunday Times (London)
