Nonsense Novels (Barnes & Noble Digital Library)

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.
