The jacket says "proto-Dada." These days I'd call it proto-Wondermark.com. Another silly little book to keep in the guest room.
I would actually rate this between four and five stars - something like 4 and 1/2.
Wonderful little book! Originally published in 1911, "What a Life!" is the very funny fictional autobiography of an English aristocrat. Two friends, essayist and travel writer E.V. Lucas and illustrator George Morrow, acquired permission from Whiteley's to cut out and arrange illustrations from the store's catalogue in a way that dictates and illustrates this character's life story.

A hilarious old collage book made from cutting up an old shopping magazine and adding humorous text. It was writen by two friends who easily rank among the top ten odd-humored gentlemen of all time.
My favorite part was: "Ponto, the watch dog, seemed dazed. He had been drugged, the Detective said. He also pointed out that the horse's neck was strangely swollen."
