The Corona Chronicles

The Corona Chronicles is a humorous look back at the last 12 months of the very annoying COVID-19 pandemic. It contains 200 "jokes" collected by the author and shared with friends to try to lift their spirits and bring a smile during a rather bleak period which became known as "the lockdown." [In the words of Confucious: "Give man one joke and he laugh for one day; give man 200 jokes and he laugh a lot longer."]

The Corona Chronicles is a humorous look back at the last 12 months of the very annoying COVID-19 pandemic. It contains 200 "jokes" collected by the author and shared with 50 friends through a daily e-mail offering. This mailing was well-received by recipients--some of whom suggested that these jokes would make a book that other people would be interested in reading. And so The Corona Chronicles was born. The addition of illustrations was designed to "lighten" the book. Some of these illustrations are spot-on and add another dimension to the humor--the author and artist sincerely hope. [In the words of Confucious: "Give man one joke and he laugh for one day; give man 200 jokes and he laugh a lot longer."]
