Book Overview
This original NCL collection brings together Leacock's comic masterpieces, the many varieties of his remarkable humour. In one story a young man is seized by fear as he attempts to open his first bank account. In another, Lord Ronald, the beloved of Gertrude the Governess, "flung himself upon his horse and rode madly off in all directions." In a third, the Mariposa Belle sinks in the shallow waters of Lake Wissanotti. Completing these timeless comedies are two of Leacock's own essays on humour. This description may be from another edition of this product.

Rated 5 starsWitty, insightful and talented, try not to laugh too hard
By Thriftbooks.com User,
Just one story will make you search for more. I borrowed a friend's book to occupy some time while on a trip to Canada, and was searching the Internet looking for more as soon as I got home. His self deprecation in several stories lets you enjoy his witty remarks targeting others as well. He finds humor everywhere and uses language,pace and insight to make you chuckle until you become a public disturbance.
