About This Item
Toronto: McClelland & Stewart, 1977 Ernest Buckler, acknowledged master of the novel (The Mountain and The Valley), short story (The Rebellion of Young David and Other Stories), and idyllic reminiscences (Ox Bells and Fireflies), adds to his list of literary successes by excelling in yet another genre.....the humerous collection. Sometimes frivolous, sometimes fanciful, always gently satirical, Buckler's light verse and comic essays are done with just the right touch of light-hearted wisdom. Buckler pokes affectionate fun at everything from advertising to opera, from farming to history, from New Year's to Christmas. An easy going collection of wit, whimsy, and wisdom from Canada's master of prose. A clean square book in an illustrated price-intact dust jacket.. First Edition. Hard Cover. Very Good/Very Good.
