Carl Spadoni's edition of Sunshine Sketches of a Little Town is a delight to peruse... -- Michael Peterman, Trent University
Affectionately combining both the idyllic and ironic, Sunshine Sketches of a Little Town is Stephen Leacocks 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.

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.
