The Oxford Dictionary of Humorous Quotations by Ned Sherrin

Now in Oxford Paperbacks, Ned Sherrin's dictionary of quotations is a collection of the sharpest, the wittiest, the wryest and wickedest in quips, put-downs, and one-liners from both humourists (Oscar Wilde, Dorothy Parker, Groucho Marx), and the "nouveaux droles", including Stephen Fry, P.J. O'Rourke, Victoria Wood, Bill Bryson, Douglas Adams, Roseanne Barr, Ian Hislop, and Julie Burchill.

Ned Sherrin is presenter of BBC Radio 4's Loose Ends. Producer and director of the ground-breaking 1960s satire TV show That Was the Week that Was, and producer of a number of films, including The Virgin Soldiers (1968) and Up Pompeii (1971), he has also written extensively for stage and screen. He
has directed many theatre productions such as Side by Side by Sondheim (London 1976 and New York 1977) and Jeffrey Bernard is Unwell (1989). He has compiled a number of anthologies, including Cutting Edge (Dent, 1984), Theatrical Anecdotes (Virgin, 1991), Ned Sherrin in his Anecdotage (Virgin,
1993), and the Oxford Dictionary of Humorous Quotations (OUP, 1995, 2/e 2001). He has also written a novel, Scratch an Actor (Sinclair Stevenson, 1995).
