Stephen Leacock (1869-1944) was a Canadian writer, teacher, and political scientist. A prolific and popular humorist, he published dozens of novels, short stories, articles, and essays over his 40-year literary career. Nonsense Novels, published in 1911, is a collection of stories parodying various literary genres. Everyone is fair game -- brilliant detectives, noble knights, rebellious heirs, lovelorn teens, prodigal sons, and more. (Summary by Louise J. Belle)
