註釋Widely regarded as the Charles Dickens of his time, Thomas Chandler Haliburton's incisive social commentary is always expressed with sparkling wit. The creation of the character of Sam Slick is regarded as Haliburton's crowning achievement. Following the huge popular acclaim that greeted Haliburton's The Clockmaker, the author, bowing to the weight of expectation, brought the fast-talking hero of his narrative, Sam Slick, to England. The Attaché, Or Sam Slick in England details the adventures of the Nova Scotian wordsmith, as he delivers his brand of homespun wisdom upon this green and pleasant foreign land.
