Wow, what an honour! In an article in today’s Orillia Packet & Times, TBLP was noted as the “funniest Leacock winner” of the decade. The list was compiled by the staff of the Manticore Books, a wonderful independent bookstore in downtown Orillia, home of the Stephen Leacock Museum. I’ve spent several hours in the last year or so browsing through this great store. Don Ross runs the show and is always on hand at Leacock-related events as the designated bookseller.
