Summary: "Neither Here Nor There" by Oliver Herford is a humorous collection of essays and observations written in the early 20th century. The work offers a satirical commentary on societal norms, manners, and a variety of quirky topics, such as cats and the concept of leisure in America.

Herford's writing is charmingly engaging, inviting readers into a world where lightheartedness reigns and the absurdities of everyday life are explored with both humor and insight. Overall, the beginning of "Neither Here Nor There" sets the stage for a delightful exploration of frivolity in human behavior. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
