Humorous novel published in 1947 by University of Manitoba professor Paul Hiebert in the form of a faux biography of "Sarah Binks", the "Sweet Songstress of Saskatchewan".It satirizes literary pretensions - both of the critic and of the poet - by presenting a poet and critic (the author) whose productions are awash with misreadings and sentimental clap-trap A total send up with cartoon illustrations by J,W J.W.McLaren. Donor inscription on ffep, together with a round silver sticker for the Stephen Leacock Medal for Humour which it won in 1948. 182p. Crisp, clean.tight text slight shelf wear to edges.
