About the work

The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:

LibriVox recording of Humour of the North, arranged by Lawrence J. Burpee. Read by various volunteers. Some day an enterprising editor may find time to glean from the whole field of Canadian literature a representative collection of wit and humour. . . . The present little collection obviously makes no such ambitious claim. It embraces, however, what are believed to be representative examples of the work of some of our better-known writers, many of which will no doubt be quite familiar to Canadian readers, but perhaps none the less welcome on that account.
