This August, dive into the perfect midsummer read with Marilyn Lightstone as she brings to life colourful and comical characters in Stephen Leacock's classic Sunshine Sketches of a Little Town. Set in the fictional Ontario town of Mariposa, this self-proclaimed "big time small town" on Lake Wissanotti is a hotbed of drama and eccentricity. Marilyn's depiction of the quirks, airs, and idiosyncrasies of Mariposa's residents will have you laughing out loud. From the bumbling politician Josiah Bounderby, to the "wise" judge Mr. Pepperleigh; from the pompous hotel proprietor, Mr. Smith, to the minister Reverend Drone, Marilyn captures them all.

Beautiful stories, beautifully read, for a crazy world.
