For years, Canadians across the country waited with eager anticipation for Stuart McLean’s Monday morning appearances on CBC-Radio’s *Morningside*. Funny and charming, poignant and nostalgic, McLean’s essays illuminate a world most of us take for granted. Among Stuart’s favourites in this collection are: – the shocking truth about household dust – the importance of hardware stores – the sad, true tale of Anne, the street lady – an ode to the Popsicle, “one of the world’s most perfect foods” – the story of the greatest game of Monopoly ever played.
