Puns are a boon in all languages and are a show of wit.
Playing with words is a real skill. Many authors have used this skill to make their books and plays stand out.
Puns make reading enjoyable and are a great food for thought. Puns are mainly used in a literary sense to make an emphasis or meaning and also help explaining two or more contexts in a fun and more concise way.
They make literature more valuable and interesting and hence, are greatly treasured. A book naturally is a great place to find puns.
