| Set in the fictional landscape of Mariposa on the shores of Lake Wissanotti in Missinaba County, Leacockâ 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 Canadaâ 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 Leacockâ s stage adaptation of Sunshine Sketches. |
