Small town Canada so charming you'll want to move to a place with one traffic light.
Stephen Leacock recounts his growing up period in the small town of Mariposa, Ontario, located on the shores of Lake Wissanotti with its notoriously leaky holiday steamer. It is a town similar to many other small towns in Canada with its odd assortment of residents.
Acting
Gordon Pinsent's warm narration feels like a hug from Canadiana itself.
Production
Period detail that makes you smell the lake air and hear the cicadas.
