SUNSHINE SKETCHES OF A LITTLE TOWN, Affectionately combines both the idyllic and ironic, and is a colourful, imaginative, and thoroughly entertaining portrait of small town Ontario.
This is Stephen Leacock at his best, and this 1996 edition was the 1st Canadian Illustrated printing, bringing even more of Mr. Leacock's story to full-life! Sunshine Sketches of a Little Town, which first appeared as a newspaper serial, chronicles life in the fictional community of Mariposa, modelled on Orillia, Ontario, where Stephen Leacock spent many summers. It's a brilliant satire about small towns, small-town people, and small-town occurrences.
