"The Clockmaker — or, the Sayings and Doings of Samuel Slick, of Slickville" by Thomas Chandler Haliburton is a collection of satirical sketches published in 1836. Through the wry wit of Sam Slick, a Yankee clockmaker from Slicksville, Haliburton delivers sharp commentary on colonial Nova Scotia and its relations with Britain and the United States. This groundbreaking work became Canada's first international bestseller, mocking both Canadians and Americans while establishing Haliburton as a founder of North American humor.
