description: My Discovery of England is a witty and insightful travelogue written by Stephen Leacock, a Canadian writer and humorist who visited England in the early 20th century. In the book, Leacock offers a unique perspective on England and its people, as he compares and contrasts his experiences with his own Canadian background. Through his observations and anecdotes, Leacock paints a vivid picture of England's history, culture, and society, touching on topics such as the monarchy, politics, education, and the arts. He also explores the idiosyncrasies of English life, such as their obsession with tea, their love of cricket, and their peculiar sense of humor.Despite his occasional criticisms, Leacock's affection for England and its people shines through, and his book is a charming and entertaining tribute to a country that he clearly admired. My Discovery of England is a must-read for anyone interested in travel writing, humor, or English culture and history.In fact you will find that, just as with us in America, the benefit of prohibition is intended to fall on the poorer classes.
