Worth a listen.

I really enjoy Leacock’s writing when he isn’t banging on about the lost cause of keeping women out of universities. He’s a crusty old Imperialist in places, and his views of women are flawed from foundation upward, but he has a habit of being far more topical than he has any right to be.

The readers unfailing cognition of the written text, resulting in an easy flow of voice, is amazing. Her intonation is rather peculiar, but suits perfectly for comical literature. The book itself is interesting and thoughtful, often humorous.
