84 pp, 8vo (8 3/16" H), hard cover in dust jacket. "Journalist, economist, scholar, humorist - B.K. Sandwell's death in 1954 robbed Canada of one of her most lively and versatile intellects. Written over a period of thirty years, these essays have a timeless quality and a gleeful approach ot the business of day-to-day life that will make them as acceptable to the generations that follow B.K.'s as they were to his own. Ancestors, etiquette and even bathrooms, among other topics, are at t h e i r happiest when viewed through the eyes of B.K. Sandwell."
