David Aikman narrates this Trinity Forum Reading selection that helps us think about the grace of laughter.

“Joy Cometh in the Morning,” a Trinity Forum Reading, features a P. G. Wodehouse short story, “Lord Emsworth and the Girl Friend,” with a Foreword by Joseph Bottum, editor of the journal First Things. Bottum discusses the reasons a master of English prose would (seemingly) waste his talent on light comedy—and why we in the twenty-first century would do well to spend time with an author who offers the grace of laughter.

This audio edition is narrated by David Aikman, a Senior Fellow of The Trinity Forum and an award-winning author and journalist. It is packaged in a handsome CD-sized case designed for safe shipping.

Examine the records of history, recollect what has happened within the circle of your own experience, consider with attention what has been the conduct of almost all the greatly unfortunate, either in private or public life, whom you may have either read of, or hear of, or remember, and you will find that the misfortunes of by far the greater part of them have arisen from their not knowing when they were well, when it was proper for them to set still and to be contented.

Adam Smith, The Theory of Moral Sentiments, p. 252
