- O Ye Jigs & Juleps!
-
O Ye Jigs & Juleps! is a short book by Virginia Cary Hudson, first published in 1962 with illustrations by Karla Kuskin. It is a series of 10 short essays written by the then 10 year old Hudson in 1904, while attending an Episcopalian school in "Leesville" (actually Versailles, Kentucky).[1] The essays concern religion to a considerable extent, but the book is largely known for its somewhat unintentional humor.[2] The book was a bestseller in 1962[3]
A large portion of book is Hudson's observations on her Episcopalian upbringing and religion in general. This has made it of interest to Episcopalian and Anglican readers. In 1962 it made the "Anglican Book Club Prior Selections."[citation needed] It was adapted into a play in 1992.[4]
Three followup works were published, Flapdoodle ,Trust & Obey, Credo & Quips and Close Your Eyes When Praying.
