Money? You Could at Least Have Spared Me This!


(5 stars)

Tricia G takes us through these works- sometimes the wreckage of normal writing, sometimes utter strangeness—, but she’s always the same— sort of amazed! She and Leacock are great.

Tricia G - Thank you


(5 stars)

Tricia G is an amazing reader and so perfect for Leacock. Not all the stories are his best - but there is still some memorable stuff. Well worth a listen.

I just can not listen to this reader.

I'm still cackling! These stories are a delightful mixture of elevated brow mockery and complete roars of hilarity. Thanx again Trisha!
