"Sunshine Sketches of a Little Town" is a collection of stories by Stephen Leacock, published in 1912, and is considered a classic of Canadian humorous literature. The stories are set in the fictional town of Mariposa, inspired by Orillia, Ontario, and feature small-town archetypes with their humorous flaws. The book's characters are based on real people, thinly veiled from Orillia. The stories were serialized in the Montreal Daily Star and later published as a book. The work has been popular for its universal appeal and was adapted into television series and movies. The 1952 TV series was CBC Television's first Canadian-produced drama, and a 2012 TV movie starred Gordon Pinsent and Jill Hennessy. Educational resources have been created around the book, and it is often used in tourist promotions for Orillia. "Sunshine Sketches" is widely viewed as a companion to "Arcadian Adventures with the Idle Rich" and has left a lasting impact on Canadian literature.
