ISBN: 9781583940792 / Angielski / Miękka / 128 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. A mention of flatulence might conjure up images of bratty high school boys or lowbrow comics.

Franklin's irrepressible wit found an outlet in perpetrating hoaxes, attacking marriage and other sacred cows, and skewering the English Parliament. Reminding us of...
