Description

Canadian author Stephen Leacock gained popular acclaim as a much-loved humor writer, publishing dozens of books in that vein over the course of his career. However, he was a trained scholar by trade who was also quite active in the realm of academic publishing. This historical chronicle of the life and exploits of sixteenth-century explorer Jacques Cartier straddles the line between popular and scholarly writing, presenting an engaging but exhaustively researched portrait of a complex and significant figure.
