Dickens of the Mounted

It was in middle school when I discovered my love of Eric Nicol’s satirical works thanks to a library copy of The Joy of Hockey. Since then I have been on the lookout for more of Eric Nicol’s books whenever I’ve entered a used book store, and I’ve managed to put together a moderate sampling of his works. Among the books I’ve added to my collection is Dickens of the Mounted, a series of letters written by Frank Dickens, son of Charles Dickens, as he served twelve years with the Northwest Mounted Police.

The best phone I've ever owned. Only better.

If waiting in line for three hours to buy a product on release day makes one a fan boy, then I guess I qualify now.
