Sunshine Sketches of a Little Town

More about the book

Affectionately combining both the idyllic and ironic, <i>Sunshine Sketches of a Little Town</i> 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, <i>Sunshine Sketches of a Little Town</i> is Stephen Leacock at his best – colourful, imaginative, and thoroughly entertaining.
