Download or read book Sunshine Sketches of a Little Town written by Stephen Leacock and published by New Canadian Library. This book was released on 2010 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Affectionately combining both the idyllic and ironic, Sunshine Sketches of a Little Town is Stephen Leacock’s 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. Painted with the skilful brushstrokes of a great comic artist, the delightful inhabitants of Mariposa represent the people of small towns everywhere. 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.

Download or read book Extraordinary Canadians:Stephen Leacock written by Margaret MacMillan and published by Penguin Canada. This book was released on 2009-03-31 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Stephen Leacock's satiric masterpiece Sunshine Sketches of a Little Town captures "the Empire forever" mentality that marked Anglo-Canadian life in the early decades of the twentieth century. Historian Margaret Macmillan—whose books Women of the Raj and Paris 1919 cast fresh light on the colonial legacy—has great affection for Leacock's gentle wit and sharp-eyed insight. The renowned historian examines Leacock's life as a poor but ambitious student who rose to become an economist, celebrated academic, and, most importantly, the beloved humorist who taught Canadians to laugh at themselves.

And beyond that again the City sinks lower, and is choked and crowded with the tangled streets and little houses of the slums...FROM THE BOOKS.
