  • "Canadian political scientist and economist Stephen Leacock had an interesting side career as an immensely popular humor writer. In this engaging volume, he collects a series of charming sketches and vignettes centered on the fictional village of Mariposa, which he describes as an amalgamation of dozens of small towns scattered throughout the Canadian countryside."@en
  • "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."

  • "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. HarperPerennial Classics brings great works of literature to life in digital format, upholding the highest standards in ebook production and celebrating reading in all its forms.

This is Stephen Leacock at his best - colourful, imaginative, and thoroughly entertaining."
  • ""Sunshine sketches of a little town is Leacock's comic masterpiece. As funny, insightful, and entertaining today as when it was first published in 1912, this beloved classic from "Canada's Mark Twain" paints a vibrant portrait of the fictional small town of Mariposa and of the dramas - both big and small - of the eccentric characters who call it home. Beautifully illustrated by celebrated artist Seth, this sumptuously designed deluxe edition is a book to treasure."--Jacket flap."
