Including a lively election in Missinaba Country, a stubborn barber who accrues a huge amount of wealth only to lose it, and a rescue boat that requires saving from shallow waters, each tale promises to entertain. At once charming and comical, Leacock's small-town citizens hark back to an age of slower and simpler living.
First published in serial form and now considered a Canadian classic, this book paints a quirky and colourful portrait of the eventful goings on in a seemingly ordinary town. With poignant reflections, gentle satire, and nostalgic sentiments, the tales of Mariposa and its people are to be savoured and enjoyed.
