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. "From the Paperback edition."
