The Talking Horse And Other TalesBy Bill TillmanThe adventures of Gustavus Brutus the talking horse. This is a laugh out loud tale from the 1800's, where the horse is smarter than the rider. A very enjoyable romp.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. funny, relaxing book :)By BadWolfI enjoyed this book very much. It was funny and I loved all of the stories! My favorite story is the first one where the main character and 'his' horse (the horse forced him to buy him) both find 'girlfriends'... but the horse 'breaks up' with his 'girlfriend' and makes his 'owner' miserable. So funny! It's not the BEST book I've read though. But I'm only rating it a 4 star because I'm picky about this type of thing. Loved this book though!0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Five StarsBy DemelzaFun imaginative. F. Antsey was a pen name used by English novelist Thomas Guthrie, whose comic novels were very popular in the early 19th century. About the AuthorThomas Anstey Guthrie (8 August 1856 - 10 March 1934) was an English novelist and journalist, who wrote his comic novels under the pseudonym F. Anstey. He was born in Kensington, London, to Augusta Amherst Austen, an organist and composer, and Thomas Anstey Guthrie. He was educated at King's College School and at Trinity Hall, Cambridge, and was called to the bar in 1880. But the popular success of his story Vice Versa (1882) with its topsy turvy substitution of a father for his schoolboy son, at once made his reputation as a humorist of an original type. In 1883, he published a serious novel, The Giant's Robe; but he discovered (and again in 1889 with The Pariah) that it was not as a serious novelist but as a humorist that the public insisted on regarding him. As such, his reputation was further confirmed by The Black Poodle (1884), The Tinted Venus (1885), A Fallen Idol (1886), and other works. Baboo Jabberjee B.A. (1897), and A Bayard from Bengal (1902) are humorous yet truthful studies of the East Indian with a veneer of English civilization. Guthrie became an important member of the staff of Punch magazine, in which his voces populi and his humorous parodies of a reciter's stock-piece (Burglar Bill, c.) represent his best work. In 1901, his successful farce The Man from Blankleys, based on a story that originally appeared in Punch, was first produced at the Prince of Wales Theatre, in London. He wrote Only Toys (1903) and Salted Almonds (1906). Many of Anstey's stories have been adapted into theatrical productions and motion pictures. The Tinted Venus was adapted by S. J. Perelman, Ogden Nash, and Kurt Weill into One Touch of Venus in 1943. Vice Versa has been filmed many times, usually transposed in setting and without any credit to the original book. Another of his novels, The Brass Bottle, has also been filmed more than once, including The Brass Bottle (1964). His Tourmalin's Time Cheques (1891) is one of the earliest stories featuring the science fiction concept of intentional and frequent movement in time, and probably the first to investigate the practical paradoxes such a concept would create.
