The Essential Stephen Leacock

By Stephen Leacock

A collection of short stories by Stephen Leacock.Stephen Leacock was one of the most successful and well-known authors of the early twentieth century. His light-hearted approach to humour and his quick wit remain funny today despite the passage of time, changes in taste and style and are as amusing now as they were when originally written nearly a hundred years ago.Gathered here are three separate and unabridged collections of short stories originally printed in magazines and newspapers: Literary Lapses, Further Foolishness and Frenzied Fiction, as well as an original biography and Leacock's own unfinished autobiography, 'The Boy I Left Behind Me'.This collection hopes to introduce a new audience to Stephen Leacock, who has already inspired a wide range of comedians and authors alike, as well as to remind us of the true nature of comedy.
