Sinossi
A witty, satirical portrait of a colonial era regiment told through verse and dreamlike scenes.
This book presents a humorous, editorial voice that mixes verse, mock-heroic storytelling, and social commentary. Set against a backdrop of early Dominion politics, it uses a dream-vision to poke at military life, officialdom, and public opinion, while staying grounded in the era’s style and voice. The result is a blend of light parody and historical snapshot that reads like a lively column from a past age.
- A dream-driven narrative that playfully reimagines officers, adjutants, and commoners.
- Satirical depictions of government, civil service life, and public discourse.
- Verse and prose that mimic 19th-century forms with modern accessibility.
- A window into how humor and critique traveled through period newspapers and correspondence.
Ideal for readers of historical satire, literary portraits of public life, and those who enjoy playful, era-evoking verse.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book offers a satirical and humorous account of the short-lived Civil Service Regiment, a unique military unit comprised of Canadian government officials that was formed in the late 19th century. The author uses a blend of poetry, prose, and dramatic dialogue to recount the regimentââ â¢s origins, training, and eventual disbandment. Through the voices of fictionalized characters, the book highlights the absurdity of the regimentââ â¢s existence, particularly its ill-preparedness for actual combat and the self-importance of its officers. The book also subtly critiques the political climate of the time, drawing attention to the perceived incompetence and frivolity of government officials. Through its witty and engaging style, the book offers a thought-provoking look at the dynamics of power, ambition, and societal expectations within a specific historical context.
