Sophisticated, playful, and extremely funny, this collection begins the career of one of Canada's best humorists and storytellers. Featuring the adventures of Patchouli the Passionate, Sweet William, Paleologue, Passquick, Purlieu, Jasper, and Angus, with guest cameos by G.K. Chesterton and painter Raphael Santi, these odd Acadian episodes have delighted for decades.
