Affectionately combining both the idyllic and ironic, "Sunshine Sketches of a Little Town" is Stephen Leacock's most beloved book. Set in fictional Mariposa, an Ontario town on the shore of Lake Wissanotti, these sketches present a remarkable range of characters: some irritating, some exasperating, some foolhardy, but all endearing. Painted with the skilful brushstrokes of a great comic artist, the delightful inhabitants of Mariposa represent the people of small towns everywhere. As fresh, funny, and insightful today as when it was first published in 1912, "Sunshine Sketches of a Little Town" is Stephen Leacock at his best - colourful, imaginative, and thoroughly entertaining.

All Editions of Sunshine Sketches of a Little Town
A lighthearted tale
A lighthearted tale of life and folk in a small Canadian township. The author has one enchanted with his, often humourous (intentional or otherwise) portrayal of the eccentricities and habits of a cross-section of the population, no doubt gleaned from his own upbringing and experiences.
Certainly a good read.
