Twice over lightly

by Eric Nicol, james simpkins (Illustrator)

This book is a selection of personal essays -- for the most part humorously intended -- that have appeared in column form in the Vancouver Daily Province and in various Canadian magazines. The book is offered for the reader's amusement. If it has any thesis it is that human folly, and in particular the author's, is one of our hardier perennials.
