Reviews
"Lively…. precise and eloquent." - The Globe and Mail "Margaret MacMillan does a superb job of breathing life into Stephen Leacock's quirks and eccentricities-and evoking wrenching pity in the reader's heart for Leacock's often very unhappy lot in life." - Calgary Herald "A sympathetic but not uncritical portrait." - Geist magazine "MacMillan's taut biography is rich in historical detail. In addition to sketching the career path of the McGill economics professor who developed a lucrative sideline in humour, the book provides fascinating glimpses into Canadian life during the late 19th and early 20th centuries." - CBC News, "Lively.... precise and eloquent." - The Globe and Mail "Margaret MacMillan does a superb job of breathing life into Stephen Leacock's quirks and eccentricities--and evoking wrenching pity in the reader's heart for Leacock's often very unhappy lot in life." - Calgary Herald "A sympathetic but not uncritical portrait." - Geist magazine "MacMillan's taut biography is rich in historical detail.

Synopsis
Canada's foremost historian examines the life of a great humorist. Stephen Leacock's satiric masterpiece Sunshine Sketches of a Little Town captures "the Empire forever"mentality that marked Anglo-Canadian life in the early decades of the twentieth century. Historian Margaret Macmillan--whose books Women of the Raj and Paris 1919 cast fresh light on the colonial legacy--has great affection for Leacock's gentle wit and sharp-eyed insight. The renowned historian examines Leacock's life as a poor but ambitious student who rose to become an economist, celebrated academic, and, most importantly, the beloved humorist who taught Canadians to laugh at themselves.
