Summary

"The Roycroft Dictionary, Concocted by Ali Baba and the Bunch on Rainy Days" by Elbert Hubbard is a funny fake dictionary from the early 1900s that makes fun of how we usually define words. The book seems to be making fun of regular dictionaries by giving funny and silly meanings that show a critical view of society and how people act. It probably tries to make people laugh with its clever word tricks and strange meanings. The beginning of the book is lighthearted and has odd definitions for words, twisting their usual meanings with humor and sarcasm. For example, it defines words in unexpected ways, showing the author's smart criticism of things like politics and human nature, creating a funny and thought-provoking look at language.
