Dickens of the Mounted

Until I read "Dickens of the Mounted" I thought that Charles Dickens was a great writer but his son Francis has written a book so full of humour and pathos I found it impossible to put down. I laughed, I laughed some more, and I cried. Not only is this a wonderful time capsule of history but it is also a personal study in what it means to be the son or daughter of a celebrity. My greatest regret is that Francis did not take up a career in writing as this book certainly rivals anything that his father wrote. What Francis had over his father is a remarkable sense of humour even under the most trying of conditions. Why this book has not been re-released or better yet made into a Hollywood film I can only wonder. Perhaps it is time this book was put into the hands of someone who can bring this great work to light.

An instant classic historical novel. This reads like a bizarre amalgam of The Diary of a Nobody and The Flashman papers. How can such a marvelous novel have fallen out of print? Learn about life in the North West Mounted Police and in the shadow of a famous relative as Dickens deadpans his way along the "medicine line". Reprint this book now!
