Publisher's Summary

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 - 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.

Poor narration

I ended up sending this back. I couldn't take the narration any longer. Her voice has no inflection and sounds like it was recorded in a shower stall. I found my thoughts drifting away constantly.
