In And Now All This, they turn their wayward pens to Geography, Knitting (or Woology), Ornithology and other aspects of Knowledge with equal mastery. Governed by the principle that 'Education has begun afresh', based in the most stupendous researches and designed to teach everybody everything everybody knows, the result is a brilliant compendium of indispensably painless Education by two of the century's funniest writers.
