Stephen Butler Leacock (1869-1944) was a Canadian writer and economist. His stories became so popular around the world that it was said in 1911 that more people had heard of Leacock than had heard of Canada.
Synopsis
Leacock's work stands out as a high point of humor writing--a parody of all the silliest conventions of the adventure story, the ghost story, the detective story, the historical romance, the nautical reversal, the Caledonian feud, and more.
