Q: What do they call a witty man in Canada?
A: A tourist.

Master anthologist John Robert Colombo continues his collecting of comedic Canadiana with this companion volume to the popular The Penguin Book of Canadian Jokes. Colombo sees the funny side of everything Canadian—our culture, our politics and even our beloved hockey.

In his second collection of jokes and anecdotes with a Canadian slant, Colombo resumes his silly, satirical and sly look at life, love and the country we call home. With a section on 24 classic Canadian jokes, The Penguin Book of MORE Canadian Jokes reaffirms Colombo’s position as one of the country’s best-loved humourists.

John Robert Colombo, who edited and annotated Worlds in Small, is known as the Master Gatherer for his many compilations of the lore and literature of Canada. Colombo has complied, translated, and written over eighty books. He co-translated into English five books of Bulgarian literature, not to mention books of verse originally written in Hungarian, Romanian, Polish, etc. In the field of native studies he has compiled Windigo, Poems of the Inuit, Songs of the Indians, and Songs of the Great Land. Among his large-scale literary anthologies are The Poets of Canada and Colombo’s Book of Canada. He edited Other Canada, the country’s first anthology of science fiction and fantasy, and beginning with Mysterious Canada, he has written or complied six books of Paranormal Canadiana.
