Summary "The Collected Works of Ambrose Bierce, Volume 12" by Ambrose Bierce is a collection of humorous and satirical writings likely compiled in the early 20th century. This volume features a blend of poetic prose, tall tales, and various short pieces that reflect Bierce's sharp wit and clever observations about life, animals, and human nature. The opening portion introduces whimsical and absurd narratives, often told through a child's perspective and heavily edited by an Uncle Edward, emphasizing a playful and nonsensical view of the world. At the start of this collection, the reader is treated to a series of amusing anecdotes centered around animals, particularly through the eyes of a young boy named Johnny and his interactions with his Uncle Ned. The narrative is rich with playful language and imaginative scenarios, such as the mishaps involving rats, goats, and their comical traits. From discussions about the traits of different animals to humorous events from Johnny's family life, the tone is light-hearted and filled with a sense of whimsical storytelling that invites readers to laugh while reflecting on deeper truths about society and nature.
