Bag om The Yahoo

The Yahoo: A Satirical Rhapsody is a book written by William Watts in 1830.

The story follows the protagonist, a human named Jack, as he navigates this upside-down world and tries to overthrow the Yahoo rulers. The book is written in a humorous and witty style, with clever wordplay and puns throughout. Overall, The Yahoo: A Satirical Rhapsody is a clever and entertaining satire that offers a unique perspective on the issues of its time.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
