Sandwell over the C.B.C., April 2, 1944, and available in mimeographed form, for an account of the origin of this book and an appreciation of it. “‘Sunshine Sketches’ is the one completely Canadian book of Leacock's enormous output. All this is the very stuff of Ontario life. It has the warmth of the Ontario summer sun and the smell of the Ontario soil fresh turned in the spring.”
