Summary "Humour of the North" by Lawrence J. Burpee is a collection of humorous writings drawn from various Canadian authors, likely compiled during the early 20th century. This anthology highlights the wit and humor prevalent in Canadian literature, featuring works from notable humorists such as Thomas Chandler Haliburton and William Henry Drummond, alongside contributions from lesser-known writers. The theme revolves around showcasing the unique flavors of Canadian humor through assorted anecdotes, poems, and sketches that reflect the cultural and social landscape of the time. The book organizes selections that reveal the eclectic nature of Canadian humor, ranging from light-hearted observations on daily life to witty commentary on politics and society. Notable pieces include Haliburton's comical reflections on political elections and Drummond's depictions of rural life, while anonymous pieces from periodicals add a layer of folk humor. The charm of "Humour of the North" lies in its ability to capture the essence of Canadian identity through laughter, presenting a blend of satire, playful narratives, and clever wordplay that resonates with readers, whether familiar with Canadian context or new to it.
