Stephen Leacock
Award-winning Canadian humorist and writer Stephen Leacock (1869-1944) was the author of more than 50 literary works, and between 1915 and 1925 was the most popular humorist in the English-speaking world. Leacock’s fictional works include classics like Sunshine Sketches of a Little Town, Arcadian Adventures with the Idle Rich, and Literary Lapses. In addition to his humor writings, Leacock was an accomplished political theorist, publishing such works as Elements of Political Science and My Discovery of the West: A Discussion of East and West in Canada, for which he won the Governor General's Award for writing in 1937. Leacock’s life continues to be commemorated through the awarding of the Leacock Medal for Humour and with an annual literary festival in his hometown of Orillia, Ontario.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5These short pieces reveal a very ken mind, for each one is a devastating review of the genres available to the reading public in the early years of the twentieth century. Each one is also very funny, as well as hitting all the bases that made such books hits with the general public. lots of fun, and also very useful in keeping the reader informed about the quality of any subsequent reading they indulge in.
