WINNER OF THE STEPHEN LEACOCK MEDAL FOR HUMOUR
Hereâs the set up: A burnt-out politcal aide quits just before an electionâbut is forced to run a hopeless campaign on the way out. He makes a deal with a crusty old Scot, Angus McLintockâan engineering professor who will do anything, anything, to avoid teaching English to engineersâto let his name stand in the election. No need to campaign, certain to lose, and so on.
Then a great scandal blows away his opponent, and to their horror, Angus is elected. He decides to see what good an honest M.P. who doesnât care about being re-elected can do in Parliament. The results are hilariousâand with chess, a hovercraft, and the love of a good woman thrown in, this very funny book has something for everyone.
