Three of Stephen Leacock's best-loved stories, recorded live at the Shaw Festival: "My Remarkable Uncle, " "Maddened by Mystery, " and "The Marine Excursions of the Knights of Pythias, " introduced by a selection from "The Hostelry of Mr. Smith." These stories gently satirize human nature with deadpan exaggeration and genteel flights of incongruity, showing the insight, tolerance, and honesty of the greatest humorist Canada has ever produced.
