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, they live out their 'large' lives in the little town.

This collection includes the following: "Urdu Adab Ka Muskarata Fassafi"; "Deewan Sahab"; "Mushairaati Safar"; "Chacha Deen Muhammed"; and "Mushaira Tu Dil e Natawan neKhoob Kia".

Hamsterdamned! is the action-packed and comical tale of gigantic rodents and sex-midgets, of one-legged prostitutes and inept Dutch policemen, of camaraderie and one man's fight to stay alive so he can marry the woman of his dreams.

These are many short sketches of daily life observed over a month of Sundays and other sundry moments.
