Sunshine Sketches of a Little Town Hardcover - 1999
by Stephen Leacock; Wesley Bates (Illustrator)
Summary
Life in Mariposa is never dull or ordinary. It's a town full of eccentrics, where boats sent to rescue passengers from a sinking steamer have to be rescued themselves, where the leading citizen is a 280-pound illiterate saloonkeeper, and where a barber who stumbles into a fortune is heralded as a financial wizard.Referred to as "The Canadian Mark Twain," Stephen Leacock was one of the bestselling English-language humorists in the world. His most famous book, Sunshine Sketches of a Little Town, chronicles life in the fictional community of Mariposa, modelled on Orillia, Ontario, where Leacock spent many summers. It's a brilliant satire about small towns, small-town people, and small-town occurrences.Available for the first time in enriched e-book format, this edition offers visual and historical insights into Leacock's creation via electronic weblinks. Like a full-colour footnote, select words and phrases throughout the book are links to websites that contain a wealth of additional information, pictures, definitions and historical notes. Now, with the click of a mouse, you can investigate the world of Mariposa without having to leave your screen."As funny now as if was then, and its winning comedy comes directly from Leacock's humanity."—Toronto Star"Leacock had a wonderful ear for dialogue and was superbly skilled in creating polished, self-contained scenes and in evoking character with a few sure strokes." — Will Ferguson
