"The Attaché; or, Sam Slick in England — Volume 02" by Thomas Chandler Haliburton is a funny story set in the 1800s about Sam Slick, a guy known for his quirky views on England. As Sam hangs out and tells stories, the book looks at how cultures clash, what's considered normal in society, and how tricky colonial life could be back then. Right from the start, Sam is getting ready to show off his "Attache" to a pal while thinking about his time in London. He shares his honest, but over-the-top, thoughts on the English and their ways, poking fun at their pride and the feeling that they are always being watched. Through jokes and clever talk, this book begins a series of comical moments as Sam sets off on more English adventures.
