Stephen Leacock lets fly at the popular fads of 1918: a secret agent so secret he cannot discover where he is, a fantasy of Father Knickerbocker loose in New York, a prophet in the parish, séances, the sorrows of a summer guest, back-to-nature cures and the modern cave-man. A run of ‘ideal interviews’ with princes, actors and professors skewers the celebrity press.
Some of the Canadian humorist’s funniest sketches, still sharp on spy thrillers and self-improvement. Download the free EPUB.
