Nonsense Novels
(1911)
I found this book while wandering through the University of Denver's library in the 1950's. I took it home and spent the rest of the day and most of the evening laughing and reading passages out loud to my parents who joined in the merriment. Leacock is a master of humor and I wish his works were more available.--Submitted by Phyllida Porter
