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.
