In a cheerful and easygoing style, the book thinks about the funny parts of daily living, societal customs, and the author's own thoughts, which will be pleasing to people who like clever remarks and funny observations. The beginning of the book shows Morley's fun way of writing and his ideas about writing, especially how important it is to fill an ink-well. He shows respect for writing, wonders about the ideas that come from ink, and gives us a peek at the reasons and feelings behind being creative. Throughout the first essays, Morley gets us ready for different subjects, like feelings about Christmas and what letters are all about, creating an appealing story that makes readers think about both the silly and deep parts of life.
