Victor Mollo's Bridge in the Menagerie is on any list of the
all-time top ten books on the game. The stories it contains,
originally published in the 1960s in Bridge Magazine and The Bridge
World, found a worldwide audience in book form. Everyone can relate
to the characters (the Hideous Hog, the Rueful Rabbit, Oscar the
Owl, and the rest), the bridge hands are brilliant, and the stories
themselves hilarious. This is the book against which all subsequent
attempts at bridge humour are measured. Bridge in the Menagerie has
been out of print for some time, and is reissued now with
illustrations by bridge cartoonist Bill Buttle.
Just about every bridge player in the world has read Victor Mollo's
Bridge in the Menagerie, a book that is on any list of the all-time
top ten on the game. Towards the end of his life, Mollo penned a
number of stories about the same well-loved characters (the Hideous
Hog, the Rueful Rabbit, Oscar the Owl, and the rest), but they
appeared only in the pages of obscure magazines. Now, for the first
time, they are available collected in book form.
Just about every bridge player over forty has read Victor Mollo's
Bridge in the Menagerie, a book that is on any list of the all-time
top ten on the game. Towards the end of his life, Mollo continued
to write stories about the same well-loved characters (Hideous Hog,
Rueful Rabbit, Oscar the Owl and the rest), but they appeared in
various magazines around the world, and if you weren't a
subscriber, you didn't get to read them. This is the fourth and
final collection of these lost Menagerie gems, collected for the
first time in book form. Previous titles in this series: Bridge in
the Menagerie; The Hog Takes To The Precision; Diamonds are the
Hog's Best Friend; Swings and Arrows.
