Cover von Stephen Leacock: Nonsense Novels (Barnes & Noble Digital Library) (ePUB)

The still-hilarious parodies in this humorous collection offer ample evidence of Leacock’s first-rate comic sensibilities. Highlights include ‚Maddened by Mystery, ‚ a send-up of the detective novel, ‚Gertrude the Governess, ‚ a bodice-ripping romance gone wrong, and ‚Man in Asbestos, ‚ a sci-fi laugh riot.
