Sam Slick of Slickville, Connecticut, is a Yankee clock-pedlar who accompanies a visiting English gentleman on an unforgettable tour of early 19th-century Nova Scotia. His shrewd observations and witty commentaries make up the 33 sketches of The Clockmaker . First serialized in 1835 and 1836 and then published together in late 1836 in response to popular demand, the sketches of The Clockmaker established Judge Thomas Chandler Haliburton as a satirical humorist of international stature. The New Canadian Library edition is an unabridged reprint of the complete original text.
