Canada’s answer to Mark Twain and Charles Dickens, Stephen Leacock was a master of humor and characterization.
His endearing portrayals of small-town life in Ontario and his memorable characters place him in the company of Canada’s finest writers."synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
Set in the fictional landscape of Mariposa on the shores of Lake Wissanotti in Missinaba County, Leacock’s Sunshine Sketches of a Little Town is an affectionate satire of small town life. This series of humourous connected sketches about graft, high finance, religion, love and romance is, on one level, an intimate, comic portrait of town life and local politics. On another level, the narrative is a powerful commentary on the workings of community values and on Canada’s place within the British Empire.
The Broadview edition includes a critical introduction, thorough annotation, a list of textual variants, and a range of contextual materials, including Leacock’s stage adaptation of Sunshine Sketches.
