This celebrated collection of sketches sparkles with Stephen Leacock's humour and shines with the warmth of his wit. The comical E.P., star of the title essay, "My Remarkable Uncle," is a classic Leacock character. He is president of a railway with a letterhead but no rails, and he heads a bank that boasts credit but no cash whatsoever - all of which trouble E.P. not in the least. My Remarkable Uncle , a wonderful smorgasbord of mirth served up by a master of comedy, includes several essays, a short story, a political parable, and personal reflections on a dizzying array of subjects. Here, in rich abundance, are the inspired nonsense and the unerring eye for human folly that have made Stephen Leacock Canada's most celebrated humorist.

Stephen Leacock was a genius?written in 1942, _My Remarkable Uncle_ is a collection of little jewels that shine as brightly today as they shone during World War II. He had the gift to bring absurdity to light and make you chuckle, sometimes ruefully, at academia, big business, urbanity, and human nature. Anything Leacock wrote is worth reading?again and again and again.
