Old Soldiers Never Laugh and Other Stories

The first of longtime military writer Bill Leavey's attempts at civilian humour, the tales in this collection range from family feuds and follies to fantasy and social satire. They span across the great nation of Canada from to the British Columbia coast, from a mental health hospital in Manitoba to a television studio in Kingston to a fishing town in Nova Scotia. All readers should recognize themselves in the pages filled with human and non-human foibles along with the traits and habits of humanity that haunt and help us all.
