Sunshine Sketches of a Little Town, a 1989 reprint of the 1912 collection of "humorous nothings," describes the fictional inhabitants of fictional Mariposa, who continue to delightfully portray the not-so-ordinary characters for which small towns are famous. In the afterword, Jack Hodgins says, "Every reader will have a different reason for treasuring the anecdotes in Sunshine Sketches of a Little Town: the details of small-town life, the recollections of a lost time, the personalities of amusing characters." A well-bound paperback with clear, easy-to-read print, Sunshine Sketches will be read and enjoyed by high school students and adults. Elaine Blakey, Red Deer, Alta. |
