** "One dialogue, or Colloquye of Erasmus (entituled Diuersoria)" by Desiderius Erasmus is a funny talk from the 1500s that pokes fun at how people treated guests in different European countries back then. The book features Bertulphe plus William as they chat about their travels and the funny ways folks welcomed them in Germany, France, and England. Bertulphe shares stories about France, where hosts were super friendly and helpful, and compares them to his time in Germany, where the inns were pretty basic and less welcoming. Through their chat, the book makes light of different social rules and shows how people act in certain parts of the world, using jokes that are intertwined with observations about interactions between the hosts and the guests. **
