Sunshine Sketches of a Small Town: A Norton Critical Edition

One of Canada's most cherished writers, British-born Stephen Leacock was probably best known and loved for his works of light humor.  First published in 1912, Sunshine Sketches of a Little Town is one of his most popular and enduring pieces of fiction. 

This collection of short stories describes the people that comprise a typical but fictional small town in Ontario, called Mariposa.  The book's appeal lies in the universality of the characters Leacock describes so eloquently, as they live out their "large" lives in the little town.
