Sunshine Sketches of a Little Town is Stephen Leacock's quintessentially Canadian take on life in small-town Ontario. One of Canada's foremost humour writers, Leacock's sketches affectionately depict the people and events in Mariposa, Ontario (based on Orillia, Ontario, where Leacock summered), where life is never dull and the extraordinary is a daily occurrence; where rescue boats need to be rescued and the leading financial authority is the local barber. One of the best-known humour writers of his time, Stephen Leacock lovingly opens the shutters on life in a small town peopled by big personalities, and where anything can, and does, happen.
