Amusing Mini-Biographies of British Authors

Kevin MacLeod is this intelligent, funny guy. He runs a Web site called Incompetech. Good name. The site has all sorts of brief, educational pages (do you know what's the difference between a philharmonic and a symphonic orchestra? MacLeod does.) Specifically, I was much amused by his British Author Series, written with levity and fond humor. Yay to MacLeod!
